Uplevel Your Vibe-Coded App

You vibe-coded something. It works. Sort of. Now what? ​This evening is about what comes after v1. The part the AI never warns you about: the app that falls over the moment a real user touches it, the database you bolted on at 2am, the "but it runs on my machine" problem. ​How it works: a handful of apps go up on the big screen for a live teardown, in front of people who have shipped for real. What's solid, what breaks under load, what to fix first. You leave with a clear next step for your own app and a room full of people building the same way you are. ​We're running this one with UpLeveled, a coding school that has trained developers since 2019, first in Vienna and now in Amsterdam. Karl Horky, their technical founder, has 20+ years in tech, designs their full stack and AI programs, and recently taught a masterclass on guardrails for AI agents. John Clancy co-founded UpLeveled Netherlands and lectures in Amsterdam on entrepreneurship and careers in tech. They bring the engineering. We at buildathon.eu bring the product and go-to-market side. Together that covers your code, your product decisions, and how you take it to market. ​Want your app on the hot seat? Grab a Hot Seat ticket and share your live app and GitHub repo when you register. The UpLeveled team reviews it before the night, so your teardown goes deep. Six spots, approval required. ​Free. Limited spots. Your hosts Karl Horky co-founded UpLeveled and leads its technical curriculum and AI training. He has spent years teaching software development and now works with teams on practical AI adoption, from foundational AI literacy to building AI into real workflows and day-to-day work. ​Dmitrii Abramov founded Vibe Coding Amsterdam, now 2,000+ community connections, and has helped hundreds of non-technical people ship their first product. He co-founded buildathon.eu, is a Product Lead at Foundever and a founding-cohort Lovable Ambassador. ​Elena Avramenko spent 15+ years in product and growth at Microsoft, Miro and LEGO. She co-founded buildathon.eu, founded modaal.dev, and designs hands-on programmes that take non-technical teams from idea to working product. ​About UpLevled.io UpLeveled helps companies build practical AI capabilities. We design and deliver hands-on training in AI literacy, workflow design and AI adoption, helping teams move from individual experimentation to more useful, repeatable ways of working. ​About buildathon.eu ​buildathon.eu designs and runs AI buildathons and hackathons that ship working products, for companies, communities and conferences across Europe. 35+ events in the past year, from 30 to 500 people, including EurHackNL, the biggest student hackathon in the Netherlands.
