AI Engineer is coming to Singapore - and Google DeepMind (as a sponsor of the event) also wants to contribute to its general aura of awesomeness! Talks (subject to updates...): **"Prototyping fast in Antigravity" - Ivan Leo** Ivan has been using Google Antigravity to rapidly build and prototype systems-level Zig libraries like teul and gil. He’ll walk through his actual day-to-day workflow and share the biggest lessons he's learned about steering AI when writing low-level code. Before joining Google DeepMind, Ivan worked on building agents at Manus AI (SG) before its acquisition by Meta in 2026, and so brings a practical view on what it takes to turn agent capabilities into products developers can actually use. **"Robotics Planning with Gemini" - Chaitanya Jadhav & Anurag Roy** Seizing the opportunity to do a lightning talk at the intersection of Robotics (the subject of the April MeetUp) and Gemini, Anurag and Chaitanya will demonstrate how Gemini's multimodal and reasoning capabilities can power a pipeline that converts photos of an indoor space into a map and generates executable task plans for robots with different embodiments. **"Something cool with TTS" - Martin Andrews** In this lightning talk, Martin has been playing with the Gemini Flash TTS models - and will demo both its regular API, and how it can be incorporated into various workflows. **"From Lab to Laundry: Scaling Robot Autonomy in the Real World" - Daniel Ng & Siddharth Krishnan** Google DeepMind’s ALOHA accelerated robot learning and model development, yet a gap remains between successful lab demos and robots working reliably in production. Daniel and Siddharth share their experience deploying ALOHA-based teleoperated robots in real work environments to bridge this autonomy gap; and explain why teleoperation will play key role in autonomous deployment. Apparently, there will be hardware! **FOOD UPDATE :** Google has told us that **there WILL BE** pizza at the event \-\-\- Talks will start at 7:10pm (entry at 6:45pm) and end at around 9:00pm, at which point attendees can come up to the front for a bit of a chat with each other, and the speakers. Due to some recent security incidents at the venue please take note of the new DevSpace security procedures [https://bit.ly/devspace-security](https://bit.ly/devspace-security) Attendees will not be admitted later than 15min after the talks have started. As always, we're actively looking for more speakers - both '30 minutes long-form', and lightning talks. For the lightning talks, we welcome folks to come and talk about something cool they've done with keras, PyTorch, JAX and/or Deep Learning for 5-10mins (so, if you have slides, then #max=10). We believe that the key ingredient for the success of a Lightning Talk is simply the cool/interesting factor. It doesn't matter whether you're an expert or an enthusiastic beginner: Given the responses we have had to previous talks, we're sure there are lots of people who would love to hear what you've been playing with. If you're interested in talking, please just introduce yourself to Martin at one of the events.

**Due to unforeseen circumstances, we’ll need to cancel the tech talk scheduled for May 14. We apologize for any inconvenience caused and appreciate your understanding. Please stay tuned for updates on our next tech talk.** \-\-\-\-\- **First Responder: A system-aware AI agent for root cause analysis** *with Vijay More, Technical Lead, Thoughtworks* Production incidents are costly, chaotic and deeply manual. Engineers often sift through logs, metrics, configs and code under pressure with no clear starting point. First Responder is a system-aware AI agent designed to change that. Join us as Vijay explores how agentic AI can transform incident response. In this session, he will walk through a live demo of how First Responder autonomously triages an incident, performs iterative hypothesis-driven root cause analysis across a full stack (code, infra and cloud), and closes the loop by fixing the issue. **What you’ll learn** * **What First Responder is** \- an agentic system that investigates production incidents end\-to\-end\. * **How agentic AI cuts MTTR** by replacing fragmented manual triage with hypothesis-driven, multi-layer root cause analysis across code, infrastructure, and cloud signals. * Learn how First Responder moves from **root cause identification to automated fix generation** and pull request creation, with engineers staying in control. * **Key design principles for building reliable, human-in-the-loop AI agents:** Explainability, extensibility, guardrails and institutional memory. **About the speaker** **Vijay More** is a seasoned technologist and Technical Lead at Thoughtworks, specializing in the architecture of agentic AI and national-scale infrastructure. Beyond engineering, he has advised clients on AI and technical roadmaps for large-scale public and private sector organizations, with a track record of building resilient platforms for millions of users. **Agenda** 6:45 pm Registration and networking 7:00 pm First Responder: A system-aware AI agent for root cause analysis by Vijay More 7:40 pm Q&A and networking **Event Details** 📅 Date: Thursday, May 14, 2026 🕡 Time: 6:45 - 8:15pm (Talk starts at 7pm) 📍Venue: Thoughtworks Singapore office, 18 Cross Street, #12-01, 18 Cross, Singapore 048423 🍕 Food and beverages will be provided **To join us, simply click "Attend" here on Meetup.** **After you RSVP on Meetup, please register via [this link](https://office.habitap.one/#/event?token=JCS8XCIW384SEESJ&officeCentreId=734) to obtain your access QR code for the event day.

Practical AI for Power BI Developers A year ago, “agentic AI” was mostly hype for Power BI teams. Today, it deserves your undivided attention. For Power BI pros, there is now a real opportunity to reduce repetitive development work, accelerate delivery, and help developers do more, but only when strong DataOps practices are in place to make AI workflows effective. This session is a no-nonsense introduction to effective AI patterns for Power BI and Fabric development. Along the way, we will make sense of the growing pile of terminology, including skills, plugins, hooks, and MCP. You will see examples of how modern AI tooling can help with development tasks across Power BI and Fabric, along with the prerequisites, guardrails, and DataOps principles needed to use it responsibly. Whether you're burned out on AI hype or already using Copilot CLI daily, this session will show you the foundations that are finally making AI-assisted development genuinely useful.

Customer identity resolution becomes increasingly complex as organizations scale across multiple systems, regions, and data formats. Traditional rule-based approaches often fail to keep up with data variability, require constant manual tuning, and struggle with real-time processing needs. This session presents a practical approach to building a scalable identity resolution pipeline using AWS services and modern AI techniques. The architecture combines data ingestion through Amazon S3 and AWS Glue, transformation pipelines using Spark on EMR, and machine learning models deployed via SageMaker for entity matching and standardization. Graph-based relationship modeling is implemented using Amazon Neptune to improve resolution accuracy by incorporating household and shared attribute context. We will walk through how machine learning models can be used for name and address normalization, how intelligent blocking strategies improve matching efficiency, and how feedback loops can be introduced to continuously improve accuracy. The session also highlights how serverless components such as AWS Lambda can be used for orchestration and real-time processing. **SPEAKER BIO** Mosaic Syed is a Senior Data Engineering and Cloud Solutions Architect with over 20 years of experience designing and delivering scalable, secure, and high-performance data solutions across global enterprise environments. https://www.linkedin.com/in/mosaic-basha-syed-92300856 **CALL FOR SPEAKERS** Learn more: [https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/](https://www.awscolumbus.com/get-involved/) **THANK YOU** *VEEAM* for hosting our meetup!
