DEVSA

On International Women’s Day, we built. DEVSA was the community partner for Lovable’s SheBuilds, a global initiative focused on empowerment, access, and real creation. While the rest of the city may have been quiet on a Sunday, our community was buzzing with the energy of creation. (It could have also been the coffee from @berrytobean ) The real star of the day wasn’t just the date on the calendar, but the @suitcasecoder herself. Laura—whose own journey from learning-to-code to creating the SuitcaseCoder platform continues to inspire and educate her audience—led a hands-on workshop. She didn’t just teach; she enabled. Participants leveraged powerful tools to turn visions into shipped applications. This day of creation was made possible by a powerful collaboration of partners committed to leveling the playing field: @lovable.dev , @claudeai , and Stripe Thanks to @jonryangarcia for capturing these pictures 🤘 Find Your People.

It’s hard to believe, but DEVSA turns 2 in just a couple of weeks. We entered the space post-pandemic, hearing stories of the “active days” of San Antonio tech—the early energy of @rackspace_technology , @geekdomsa , and @techbloc . As a self-taught developer transitioning careers later in life, the reason I created DEVSA was simple: Where are the other active learners? Where are the builders? We realized early on that the only way San Antonio community groups could win was through collaboration. Two years later, we’ve solved the “venue issue” and created a platform that bridges the gap for everyone in our network—students, partners, community groups, and our first wave of sponsors in 2026. We’re proving that while San Antonio may not have the infrastructure of Austin or Dallas yet, we have the industries and the platform to solve the city’s biggest pain points: fragmentation and the need for a welcoming place to level up skills and network with the front-line folks exploring the changing tech landscape. Huge thanks to @miguelcedillo and the 434 MEDIA team for capturing the energy from the recent More Human Than Human AI conference. Thank you to @zaquariah_h for embracing the role of community champion and being there to help answer and solve any needs the groups may have. We are the bridge for a reason, and this video spotlights how DEVSA brings together different industries, lenses, and perspectives to help our growing network find your people and build your future.

Find your people. Build your future. We love what the Geeks&& fam activated in the month of April! They’ve truly embraced the collaboration model we’ve championed since starting DEVSA two years ago. From a community lens, we’ve learned that our collective impact in San Antonio is only as strong as our ability to build together—moving past operating in separate silos to champion a truly unified tech ecosystem. This year marks the 2nd Annual AI April—a month-long collaborative push that saw the Geeks team host events with @greatergamingsociety , @acmsanantonio , .NET User Group, Alamo Python, @sa.creatives @beyondthecanvasproductions , @thecreativefutures , @geekdomsa , @alamotechcollective , and DEVSA, even volunteering with @youthcodejam . For the active builders, learners, and those just looking to be around like-minded peers, it was a month full of opportunities to get inspired and build. Tomorrow is the closing event for AI April! • 2nd Annual AI Agent Showcase • May 2nd | 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM • Radius Center (106 Auditorium Circle, Suite 120) The showcase is the grand finale of AI April!

More Human Than Human is officially SOLD OUT. We’ve had to close registration because we’ve hit venue capacity. We are super excited to get some face time and connect with the active builders and learners in San Antonio. We have the space laid out for 75 people and a rockstar lineup of local talent sharing insights through the lenses of executive leadership, security, marketing, game design, developers, and the dreamers (aka vibe coders). Just because registration is closed doesn’t mean you can’t still join us! We’re excited to share that More Human Than Human will be streamed live on the DEVSA YouTube channel and available to watch after the event. Parking: We’ve added a parking section to our website. No one should be spending more than $10 to park downtown on Saturday if you follow the recommendations we’ve shared. The Afterparty: When the event is over, join us as we make our way down to the street level of historic Houston St. to close out the day networking on the Double Standard patio. Can’t wait to see everyone on Saturday! @digitalcanvashq x @geekdomsa x @v0.app x @leantechniques LINK IN BIO

Join San Antonio’s builders, dreamers, and technologists for a deep dive into how AI is fundamentally re-architecting the way we write code, secure the internet, and lead organizations. We’re bringing operators and leaders into one room in the heart of downtown San Antonio to show what agent-driven systems look like in practice — not in theory. The Official Session Lineup • Key AI Skills for Leaders: Wes Etheredge introduces a framework for leveraging AI as a "Thought Partner" to align organizational goals with agentic tools. • What’s Left When the Code Writes Itself? Angel touches on the high-value skills—architecture, trade-offs, and judgment—that remain when code writes itself. • How Do Agents Actually Work?: Samad Ahmed builds an agent from scratch, implementing the core loop of perception, planning, action, memory, and reflection. • Godot Audio Stack: @nonameentername explores real-time synthesis and plugin hosting for DAW-to-game instruments. • We Can’t Do This Without YOU: Dirce E. Hernandez will explore why the relationship between developers and security teams has never been more critical, using Cyber Threat Intelligence as a prime example of why AI development must be a team sport. • Building with the @github Copilot SDK: This session from Daniel Ward shows you how to go from zero to a working AI agent embedded in your application in 10 minutes or less, live on stage. • Proving Humanity in an Agentic Internet: Join @jacquelinersuttin as she explores how @magentrust is re-architecting human verification. Move beyond simple challenge-response gates and discover a new, dynamic security layer that treats "Proof of Human" as a behavioral, upstream necessity in an agentic world. • Dream It, Ship It: The gap between a product idea and a live production environment is collapsing. Moving from scaffolding and database configuration to a deployed app used to take hours—now it takes minutes. Join Jesse from DEVSA for a live workshop on the v0 workflow.
