In his work, he champions "Test-Driven Navigation (TDN)," a powerful methodology that bridges the battle-tested wisdom of Extreme Programming with the raw capability of modern AI. Alex argues that the developer's role isn't disappearing—it's being elevated. His talks provide a clear, actionable roadmap for developers to become the strategic architects of their systems, guiding AI to do the heavy lifting without sacrificing quality or control.
