  • There’s no one way to build anymore | UCLA CIO on AI & the Enterprise
    Mar 25 2026

    AI is changing how software is built.

    But inside enterprises, there’s no longer a single way to develop or deliver.

    In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan speaks with Howard Miller, CIO of the UCLA Anderson School of Management, about how AI is reshaping enterprise development, and what it actually takes to move from experimentation into real delivery within a higher education environment.

    From the rise of tools like Claude to platforms like OutSystems, this conversation explores how modern enterprises are combining multiple technologies to stay agile, reduce technical debt, and modernize legacy systems.

    In this episode, we discuss:

    • Why there’s no longer one way to build in the enterprise
    • How AI is changing the way organizations approach development
    • Why flexibility and a multi-tool strategy is becoming essential
    • How platforms like OutSystems support modernization and reduce technical debt
    • The importance of choosing the right first use case
    • Why development fundamentals still matter in an AI-driven world
    • The challenges of adoption inside higher education environments

    Whether you’re a CIO, developer, or enterprise leader, this episode offers a real-world perspective on AI, enterprise architecture, and the future of software development.

  • Agentic AI Explained: Why Enterprises Aren’t Ready | Miroslav Samoylenko
    Mar 18 2026

    Agentic AI Explained: APIs, Identity, Security, and Enterprise Readiness
    Why AI doesn’t create problems — it exposes them.

    In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan speaks with Miroslav Samoilenko, Director of Solution Architecture at JELD-WEN, Inc., who brings nearly 30 years of experience across enterprise systems, traditional software development, and low-code.

    As organizations move from chatbots to agentic AI, the conversation is shifting from experimentation to real-world execution.

    But here’s the reality:

    AI doesn’t create new problems.
    It exposes the ones already inside your enterprise.

    In this episode, we explore what that means for enterprise teams, architects, and technology leaders.

    In this episode, we cover:

    •What “agentic AI” actually means in simple terms
    •Why AI amplifies existing issues in data access and governance
    •The hidden risks around APIs and enterprise architecture
    •Identity challenges when AI agents interact with systems
    •Why zero-trust security becomes critical in an AI-driven world
    •How low-code platforms like Mendix enable faster enterprise delivery
    •The evolving role of developers, architects, and product owners

    As AI agents begin to access data, call APIs, and trigger workflows, organizations must rethink how systems are governed, secured, and scaled.

    This is not just a technology shift.

    It’s an operating model shift.

  • AI Agents Are Coming to the Enterprise - But Who Governs Them? | Gonçalo Borrêga
    Mar 11 2026

    Who governs AI agents inside enterprise systems?

    In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan speaks with Gonçalo Borrêga, VP Product, AI & AppDev at OutSystems, about one of the biggest questions emerging in enterprise technology today.

    As AI moves beyond chatbots into agentic systems that can write code, make decisions, and act across enterprise applications, organizations are facing new governance, security, and architectural challenges.

    This conversation explores what happens when AI moves from experimentation into mission-critical production environments.

    Topics we cover include:

    • Why agentic AI changes how enterprises think about governance
    • The emerging risks of prompt injection and uncontrolled AI agents
    • Why traditional IT governance models break down with AI
    • How AI is changing the role of developers from coders to system architects
    • Whether AI will lead to the “death of SaaS”
    • Why enterprise application platforms must evolve to support AI-driven development

    Gonçalo shares insights from working closely with organizations adopting AI inside enterprise application platforms and mission-critical systems, and explains why the biggest challenge ahead isn’t building AI - it’s governing it at scale.

  • How Lovable Is Turning Operators Into Developers
    Mar 4 2026

    She began 2025 without knowing what a PRD was. She ended the year as an AI builder.

    In this episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan sits down with Kat Hill Contag, a non-technical founder and Lovable Ambassador, to explore how the barriers to building software are rapidly collapsing.

    Kat’s journey started with curiosity. During the inaugural Lovable SheBuilds Hackathon, she entered a 48-hour competition without a traditional engineering background and built AI Recess, a platform designed to help teams actually use AI in their daily work.

    Out of 2,500+ applicants, her project was selected as the B2B category winner.

    Her story highlights a major shift happening across the industry.

    AI tools and modern development platforms like Lovable are enabling operators, founders, and business leaders to build software directly — not just engineers.

    This conversation explores what that shift means for:

    • AI builders and non-technical founders
    • Operators becoming developers
    • Enterprise AI adoption and governance
    • The future of software development

    The barrier to building is lowering.

    The advantage now belongs to those closest to the problem.

  • The Future Isn’t Apps - It’s Agentic AI | OutSystems CEO Woodson Martin
    Jan 6 2026

    The future of enterprise software isn’t more apps, it’s agentic systems.

    In this special episode of Drag & Drop, Feroz Khan sits down in Miami with Woodson Martin, CEO of OutSystems, for a candid, no-hype conversation about what actually works in enterprise AI.

    While most AI discussions focus on tools and demos, this episode goes deeper into how CIOs, CTOs, and enterprise leaders should design, govern, and scale agentic AI systems in the real world.

    You’ll hear why:

    → Enterprise AI can’t succeed without governance, observability, and accountability.
    → Agentic AI must be built on top of existing systems, not replace them.
    → A unified platform matters more than stitching together tools.
    → “Vibe coding” empowers professional developers instead of replacing them.
    → AI ROI comes from augmenting hardened systems, not rebuilding everything.
    → The current AI hype cycle may burst, but agentic systems are here to stay.
    → Long-term success depends on customers owning capability, not renting it.
    → Why the OutSystems community is becoming one of the most AI-ready enterprise developer ecosystems in the industry.

    This episode is designed for:

    ✔️ CIOs and CTOs defining their 2026 AI strategy
    ✔️ Enterprise architects and platform leaders
    ✔️ Developers building agentic systems at scale
    ✔️ Leaders navigating AI governance, compliance, and ROI
