ThaiPy #116: CTO’s AI Playbooks + Async-First Job Runner

A special thanks to MIT Hacking Medicine, the sponsors of this month's event. They'll be joining to tell us about "Siraj x MIT Hacking Medicine 2025" - a hackathon for exploring healthcare solutions hosted by Siraj Hospital and Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT).

#1 - Getting things done with AI: learnings from building across domains - Prateek Jogani (CTO, Qoala): Prateek has built products across domains - from edtech, health-tech, music-tech to insurtech. He's codifying all his learnings into playbooks for building products and accelerating development with AI. Most recently he co-founded Vouch | FairDee, which merged with Qoala in 2020, helping to scale it from <$20M to $270M+ in GWP, leading product and engineering through acquisition, international expansion, and $100M+ in funding.

#2 - Building a lightweight async job runner with asyncio and postgres - Miguel Rebelo (Aptiode): Task schedulers in the Python ecosystem often fall short when it comes to support for asynchronous workloads and come with some tough tradeoffs: they're often heavyweight (celery), don't scale well horizontally (APSscheduler) or are in memory only. Miguel is developing an open source library that's both lightweight and async first, in this talk he'll introduce us to the problem and share his experience contributing to the Python ecosystem.
