**About the Instructor – Hwee Hwee**
Hwee is a yoga instructor who hurt her wrist, dampening her asana practice and just could not recover it 100% with physiotherapy and Traditional Chinese Medicine. A calling drawn her to **Reiki healing** and her recovery progressed so much more! Hwee is an advanced Reiki Level 3 practitioner.
With yoga, Hwee fell in love with the **low impact** workout (which was gentle for her teenage injured lower back). Wanting to know yoga beyond the physical aspects (asanas), she went to one of the oldest yoga school in world, G.S. College of Yoga and Cultural Synthesis, Kaivalydham in Lonavla, Pune, India in 2017 and attained her Hatha Yoga teaching certifications from both Kaivalydham and Quality Council of India (QCI) by Indian Yoga Association.
Hwee is also into meditation since 2013 and with Hatha Yoga now, the practice between asana (physical exercise) and meditation has integrated into one.
> *“We don’t do meditation — meditation happens to us.”*
Join Hwee for a nourishing outdoor practice of yoga, pranayama, and gentle healing.
Hwee also speaks **Chinese & Japanese.**

AWS User Group Meetup May 2026
👋 Hello AWS User Group Community!
Join us on Wednesday, 20th May 2026, for our May meetup at the AWS Singapore Office, IOI Central Boulevard!
We’re bringing the community together again for an evening of sharing, learning, and connecting — stay tuned as we finalise the session lineup 👀
📅 Date: Wednesday, 20th May 2026
🕡 Time: 6:30 PM
📍 Location: AWS Singapore; 2 Central Blvd, IOI Central Boulevard East Towers, Level 5
🎤 **Meetup Track**
✅ **Lessons Learned Deploying an LLM-Powered Knowledge Assistant**
📌 Speaker: Hairizuan Noorazman, DevOps Engineer
Engineering teams often lose time navigating fragmented Jira and Confluence documentation. To address this, an LLM-powered chatbot was built on AWS — using ECR, EKS, and Amazon Bedrock.
The initial RAG approach quickly surfaced critical issues such as data leakage in vector stores, prompt injection, and broken access controls. This session breaks down these failure modes and explores a pivot to a Model Context Protocol (MCP) integration with Atlassian, allowing queries over live data instead of duplicating it.
Attendees will gain practical insights into RAG vs MCP trade-offs and a reference AWS architecture for building safer LLM systems.
✅ **Kiro IDE Best Practices in SDLC and Scrum Sprint DevSecOps**
📌 Speaker: Tim Wu, Senior GTM Specialist SA AI/ML
An AI-powered development environment that embeds enterprise standards directly into your workflow. See how Kiro transforms traditional SDLC approaches through its Five-Element Architecture, making compliance, security, and best practices automatic rather than afterthoughts. Kiro provides ready-to-use configurations that enforce guardrails while accelerating development. This session focuses on live demonstrations to show you exactly how steering files, hooks, skills, subagents, and MCP integrations work together in real enterprise scenarios.
✅ **Running AI agents that control computers: AWS architecture for sandboxed autonomous execution**
📌 Speaker: Sahil Sharma, Applied AI Enthusiast
Agents that browse, click, and type need more than an API call- they need isolated sandboxes, warm container pools, and an architecture that scales. This deep dive covers how 14 AWS services come together to run autonomous computer-use agents safely and fast in production.
📢 **IMPORTANT! Registration Information**
To ensure a smooth check-in process, please take note of the following:
✅ ✅ Confirmed attendees will receive a confirmation email before the event titled *"**AWS User Group Singapore: Registration Confirmed for AWS User Group Meetup – May 2026**."* You must present this email at the Level 2 Concierge to gain access to Level 5 for attendance verification.
🚶 Walk-ins (those without a confirmation email) will only be considered if the venue has not reached full capacity. Priority will be given to registered attendees with confirmation emails.
🔒 Strictly enforced: No confirmation email = walk-in. Entry not guaranteed.
💡 **Pro Tip:** Arrive early to avoid queues and secure your seat for the sharing sessions!
Additional Highlights:
🍕 Pizza Time: Begin your evening with some delicious pizza at 6:30 PM, courtesy of our generous sponsor, AWS. Vegetarian and halal options will be available.
🍻 Post-Meetup Networking: Stick around for casual networking over drinks. Let’s forge new connections and continue the conversations!
🎁 AWS Swag & Promo Codes: Don’t miss the chance to win exclusive AWS swag and promo codes. Prizes will be drawn for attendees present at the event—so stay till the end!

0 to 1 with AI: Real Product Talks
**ProductTank NoVA is back!**
After a brief hiatus, we are relaunching the chapter with a format that cuts out the fluff and gets straight to the reality of building.
Every product feed is flooded with AI hype right now, but what does it actually look like on the ground? Instead of a polished keynote, we are hosting **0 to 1 with AI: Real Product Talks**—a "Show & Tell" featuring 3–4 lightning talks focused on the intersection of AI and product.
The framing for the talks is simple: *"Here is what I'm building, and here is what I'm stuck on."* We want to look at the messy, 0-to-1 reality of integrating AI into your workflows and products.
*(Want to share what you are working on? Reach out! The bar is low-pressure, just 10–12 minutes to talk about a real AI problem you are trying to solve.)*
**Agenda:**
* **5:30 PM - 6:00 PM:** Doors open, networking, & name tags
* **6:00 PM - 6:10 PM:** Welcome + Chapter Relaunch Intro
* **6:10 PM - 7:30 PM:** Lightning Talks (Three 12-min talks + 5 mins Q&A each, with a 5-min stretch break)
* **7:30 PM - 8:00 PM:** Open networking
* **8:00 PM:** Soft close
**Location & Logistics:** Herndon Fortnightly Library (Extended Hours Meeting Room) 768 Center St, Herndon, VA 20170
* **Parking:** We'll meet at the library, located just behind the Herndon Municipal Center. There is plenty of free public parking available around the municipal center.
* **Metro & Bus:** Take the Silver Line to Herndon Metro Station, then connect via Fairfax Connector Route 921 or 950 to Historic Downtown Herndon.
* **Driving (via VA-267/Dulles Toll Rd):** Take Exit 10 North (Centreville Rd, which becomes Elden St). Turn left onto Station St or Lynn St.
* **Driving (via VA-286/Fairfax Co Pkwy):** Take the Elden St West exit. Turn right onto Lynn St.
Looking forward to seeing everyone again and getting back to building!
Your Evals Are Bad: Evaluation and the Model Development Lifecycle
**REGISTER AT THE LUMA EVENT PAGE!!!**
https://luma.com/27ja5gwl
Join us for an exciting talk by Mary Gibbs, Senior Applied Scientist at Relativity.
**Agenda:**
6:00 - 6:30 PM - Welcome and mingle
6:30- 6:45 PM - Introductions
6:45 - 7:30 PM - Talk
7:30 - 8:00 PM - Wrap up
**Description:**
If you have ever shipped a model, watched your metrics improve, and later learned from your users that something was wrong, the metrics were always wrong. You just didn’t know it yet. An evaluation consists of three components, a benchmark, a scorer, and a claim about what a score represents. Each component has its own weaknesses. Benchmarks can suffer from narrow coverage, contamination, or saturation. Scorers are often chosen for ease of automation or computation rather than for their alignment with user outcomes. And the claim connecting a score to reality is rarely made explicit. These gaps compound across the model development lifecycle. When metrics improve, teams treat that as a signal and optimize directly against it, which is how a measurement problem becomes a model problem. This talk maps where evaluations can go wrong, considers counterarguments, and ends with practical advice for building better ones.
**Speaker Bio:**
Mary is a Senior Applied Scientist at Relativity, tackling data science challenges in the e-discovery and legal tech space. She is also an organizer for Women and Gender eXpansive Coders DC (formerly Women Who Code DC), fostering a community dedicated to empowering women and nonbinary individuals to excel in their careers. Mary's experience spans various domains. She has developed data science solutions related to job search and career progression at Teal, cybersecurity challenges at LiveAction Software, and commercial and government consulting at Mosaic Data Science. Before venturing into the field of data science, Mary conducted and published research pertaining to the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodevelopment at the National Institutes of Health. In other words, she has dissected and imaged a lot of fruit fly brains. She holds a M.S. in Data Science from The George Washington University and a B.A. in Biological Sciences from Cornell University
Humans discuss AI over coffee
Our first Technoverts meetup had a great turnout, so we're doing it again, this time with an optional conversation theme: **How people are actually using AI in everyday work and life**. This is not a panel or presentation, and I do not have a fixed agenda, it's just a relaxed coffee conversation for people in tech (or tech-adjacent fields) who are curious about practical AI use cases, useful tools, workflow hacks, weird experiments, and what's generally helping people right now.
*Topics might include:*
* AI tools people actually use at work
* Productivity and automation
* Prompting successes and failures
* Writing, coding, research, analytics and creative use cases
* What feels overhyped vs. genuinely useful.
No expertise is required. It's completely fine to come mostly curious, skeptical, or just interested in meeting thoughtful people in tech.
*What to expect:*
* Low pressure conversation
* A mix of tech talk and normal conversation
Location: (Subject to change as I do more research)
