Only Devs #126: AI Guardrails in bank apps + TBA

We are now Only Devs Bangkok! Formerly known as ThaiPy, we recently renamed the group and broadened its focus, because the work of a developer is changing fast. These days we often work across many languages and technologies, and we want to help you keep up.

A special thanks to Ikigai Digital, the sponsor's of this month's event. They'll be joining to tell us about the kind of work they do, what they look for in developers, and share their insights into AI driven development for banking applications.

#1 - “From Chaos to Control: My Journey Building Agent Orchestration and Guardrails for Banking Applications” - Theo Chiu
(Ikigai Digital) will talk to us about what it actually takes to move from experimenting with AI coding agents to a workflow you can rely on in production, he'll discuss the problems they hit along the way and how they solved each one. This is the story of a practical journey, not a tool demo: less hype, more lessons on orchestration, quality, and cost when agents write most of the code.

#2 - "Systems Thinking for Software Developers" - Mohamad Kamar (Agoda) is going to introduce us to the systems thinking. In software development, systems thinking can help us improve performance, reliability, and usability by shifting the focus from isolated coding tasks to understanding how code, services, people, and processes interact in the real world.

Only Devs is a free event for anyone that's interested in keeping up with the latest programming languages, libraries, and techniques. Everyone is welcome, beginner to advanced or just curious about tech, whatever your background.
Snacks and soft drinks provided by Ikigai Digital.
