SUMMARY:From Prompt to Production: Six Months of AI-Built Network Tooling a
 t Carolina
LOCATION:Main Room\, Metropolitan State University of Denver | CAVEA Theate
 r\, Denver\, CO
DESCRIPTION:Between February and August 2026\, UNC-Chapel Hill's network en
 gineering practice used an AI coding agent as a full-time development part
 ner. The output was not prototypes: it was roughly a dozen systems now run
 ning in production against the live campus network.\n\nThe flagship is a c
 ross-estate wireless observability platform covering ~12\,000 access point
 s — a Cisco Meraki estate and an Aruba estate mid-migration — plus the
  16\,800 devices AKIPS monitors. It unifies client search and troubleshoot
 ing across both vendors\, ingests syslog from twenty mobility controllers\
 , models RF propagation over real CAD floor plans\, maps the campus from F
 acilities GIS\, and reports service levels against the availability target
 s AKIPS already holds. Alongside it: a self-service private-PSK portal ser
 ving students and departments\, a fabric-migration tracking dashboard\, pa
 ssive RADIUS telemetry\, DHCP diagnostics reconciling Meraki against Infob
 lox\, and read-only MCP servers that let engineers ask questions of AKIPS\
 , XIQ-SE and switch CLI in plain language from Teams.\n\nThe talk will dis
 cuss the enormous possibilities of agentic A.I. in actual practical outcom
 es\, as well as some of the dangers that come from it.
