Halo Data Engineers Singapore! We are excited to welcome **Jason Jebanesan JEBANESAN** from **Credit Agricole CIB** & **Kelvin Kok,** from **Axrial** to talk about: ***Stop Tuning Your RAG Start Orchestrating - by Jason*** RAG was supposed to fix hallucinations, instead it introduced a new class of silent production failures. Tuning won't save you. RAG is a control-plane problem, and MCP is the wire underneath. ***10x Your Data Engineering: Rapid Glue ETL Prototyping with Kiro - by Kelvin*** ​The longest mile in data pipeline construction is building the transformation layer. Manually configuring AWS Glue jobs can bottleneck an entire project. In this lightning-focused talk, we’ll show you how we use Kiro to completely bypass the boilerplate. We will walk through how we feed technical constraints into Kiro to rapidly generate highly optimized AWS Glue ETL logic, ensuring efficient execution while keeping developer velocity at an all-time high. **Expected agenda:** **6.30pm - 7.00pm** \- Registration\, Food & Networking **7.00pm - 7.45pm** \- Presentation & QnA by Jason **7.45pm - 8.30pm** \- Presentation & QnA by Kelvin **8.30pm – 9.00pm** \- Post\-event Networking Hope to you all soon!

Looking for genuine business networking in Singapore without the hard sell or the tech-startup echo chamber? You've found it. The Singapore Entrepreneurs Network (SEN) has been running free, no-frills entrepreneur networking sessions since 2005 with roots going back to 2002. This is one of our regular monthly sessions. Drop in, buy a drink, and start a conversation. With over 20,000 members and 633 events hosted across two decades, SEN is one of Singapore's longest-running and most active entrepreneur communities. **Who shows up** SEN attracts a genuinely mixed crowd, and that's the point. On any given Thursday you'll meet: * Students and aspiring founders with their first business idea * Fresh startups and early-stage founders * Established entrepreneurs and SME owners * Corporate professionals seriously considering the leap * Freelancers and independents building their own path * Investors and advisors * Foreign entrepreneurs and expats building in Singapore Every industry. Every stage. All equally welcome. **What to expect** No agenda, no formal programme, no keynote speeches, no hard pitching. Just a room full of people who are building something or thinking seriously about it, talking openly with others who get it. SEN is known for being genuinely diverse, refreshingly direct, and free of the "tech founders only" attitude that dominates most Singapore networking events. People disagree here. People speak freely. That's what makes it worth showing up. **Our community standard** This community runs on one principle: honest conversation between real people doing real work. Claims are welcome. Fabrications are not. If you state credentials, be prepared to substantiate them. **Practical details** * Venue: Rocky Master, 18 Tai Seng St, #01-28, Singapore 539775 * Date: First Thursday of the month * Time: 7:00 PM onwards * Free entry **Ground rules** * Buy something at the venue. There is no entrance fee, but we are guests of Rocky Master. It is compulsory to purchase a drink or meal. If you are not hungry or thirsty, buy something and gift it to someone else; you will get thirsty after an hour of conversation. * No hard selling. Network freely, but do not force other attendees to sit through your pitch. * Basic decency. SEN welcomes people with differing views and backgrounds. Disagree openly but respectfully. **About SEN** In 2002, Nicholas Chan was one of eight co-founders of Project:Senso, a pioneer entrepreneur gathering in Singapore. Nicholas subsequently spun off the Singapore Entrepreneurs Network in 2005; the networking events were working, people kept coming back, and he decided they deserved a permanent home and a life of their own. Two decades on, SEN counts over 20,000 members and runs affiliated chapters in Malaysia, Myanmar, and Taiwan.
