About us
Are you a Junior Developer or newbie in the Tech industry? Do you sometimes feel anxious about work or question your own abilities? Are you excited to be starting your career and want to celebrate your accomplishments with others? You are not alone!
With this Meetup group we hope to create a home for all things JuniorDev.
We will be hosting a bi-monthly get-together known as the JuniorDev Social. Here we socialise and connect with our fellow Juniors to swap stories and share wins or disastrous fails (yup, those are normal) all while enjoying some food and drink provided by our generous sponsors.
In the months that we're not socialising we'll be coding! Every alternate month will see the JuniorDev Hack Night. Bring your laptops, questions and be ready to work on side hustles, tutorials, walkthroughs... or whatevs - we'll have mentors on hand to help out.

Presentation
Topic: AI for Software DevelopersAI is rapidly changing how software is built, but many developers are still unclear on how to move from using AI tools to actually building AI-powered applications and agents.
This talk breaks down the key concepts every developer needs to understand, including large language models, tokens, embeddings, retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), and AI agents.
The session will be delivered by three speakers from the Women Developers Singapore (WDS) community. The talk will be structured as a cohesive walkthrough: from how AI models understand language, to how they access data, and finally how developers can build production-ready AI applications and agents.
