Скачать или смотреть Why AI Engineers Need App Development Skills in 2025 (With Hesam Abbaszadi)

In this insightful episode of PLAI: The Innovation Engine, host Chadi Abi Fadel sits down with Hesam Abaszadi, an electrical engineering master's graduate from the University of New South Wales who now serves as an augmented reality R&D engineer at Peak Light. The conversation takes an unexpected turn as they explore the intersection of AI engineering and app development.


 


Chadi breaks down the fundamentals of React Native and Flutter, explaining why these cross-platform development frameworks matter in today's tech landscape. But the real meat of the discussion comes when Hesam poses a provocative question: Why would an AI engineer care about app development at all?


 


Chadi's answer reveals a strategic three-pronged approach: recognizing app development as a low-hanging fruit with massive demand, understanding that apps have become the universal language for consuming AI models, and leveraging the power of "vibe coding" (agent-assisted coding) to develop more efficiently.


 


The episode culminates in Chadi revealing his deeper mission: bridging the gap between old and new capabilities of humans augmented by AI, and starting with web and application development.This episode highlights the disconnect between what's technically possible and what's actually being built in the market today, a gap that Peaklight.ai is actively bridging.
