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. **About the Speakers:** **Saloni** Saloni is a Senior Software Developer. As a Co-Director of WomenDevsSG (WDS), she plays a pivotal role in organizing events and initiatives that support women in tech. She is also the cohost of ragTech, a tech podcast aiming to breakdown tech for all. She believes Teaching is the best way to learn. **Manaswini** Manaswini is a Senior Backend Engineer passionate about tackling challenging problems in this space. She loves empowering women through technology and volunteers in different communities to support this mission. She is also drawn to the start-up space, where she gets to combine her love for building systems with creating real-world impact. **Gitansha** Gitansha Aggarwal is an AI and Digital Solutions Developer focused on building impactful solutions and exploring real-world applications of AI. She is an active member of WomenDevsSG (WDS), supporting initiatives that empower women in tech. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Career Q&A** Ever wonder what happens behind the scenes once you hit "Pay Now"? Two engineers from PayPal, Heman and Reuben, will be hosting a career Q&A. It’s a chance to hear what it’s actually like to build and ship code that powers global payments at an eye-watering scale. **About the Speakers:** **Heman** Heman is a Senior Software Engineer at PayPal Singapore, working on global payments infrastructure, including merchant onboarding, checkout systems, and multi-country expansion serving global markets. Before PayPal, he built systems across health tech, SaaS, and HR tech, as a Senior Developer at Synapxe, at Teamspirit, a Japan-based SaaS company, and at ManpowerGroup developing in-house HR systems. He has been actively applying AI to accelerate his engineering workflow, building his own code intelligence platform and AI-powered workflow orchestration tools. His hands-on experience integrating AI into day-to-day development gives him a practical perspective on what works, and how engineers can leverage these tools effectively. **Reuben** Reuben is a Software Engineer at PayPal, where he works on AI-driven systems for code generation and testing automation. Previously at Ascenda, he built core loyalty infrastructure connecting banks to loyalty programs across the full stack, from backend services to frontend interfaces to scaling.

🏛️ **WHAT'S PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY ABOUT?** Practical Philosophy is a weekly meet-up that brings critical thinkers together for an opportunity to dive deep on a topic, practice communicating, and building a community. All with no ‘official’ philosophy knowledge required! 😎 Practical Philosophy is based on the idea that philosophy should be accessible to all, and not something reserved only for academics. Each week we choose a topic, and the goal is to use the conversation to develop our critical thinking and communication as we explore that topic. The goal is to help develop our Critical Thinking, Communication, and Community 🙌 📓 **HOW DOES IT WORK?** Each week, we pick one topic and discuss it. The topic for the week is shared, generally in the [Whatsapp group](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LB5EKxC9JsN7S1wVok3vXe?mode=gi_t), along with jump-off points to get the conversation going. When groups get bigger than 7-8 people, it’s important that we break into smaller groups. This way we are able to maintain a conversational flow as opposed to having our meetups feel like a discourse or lecture. **General Meeting Agenda** Each Practical Philosophy meet-up follows this general timeline: * 19:00-19:15 - People arrive and chat, get to know each other before the ‘official' start. * 19:15-19:25 - Meeting introduction, explanation of Practical Philosophy and the topic for the week, read the guidelines and the overview so attendees know what to expect in terms of timelines. * 19:25-20:45 - Break into small groups - introduce yourselves and general thoughts on the topic, open discussion afterwards. At this point the group can review the ‘jump-off’ questions as needed, but they are just there to help guide the conversation. It’s not obligatory to answer them. * 20:45-21:00 - Bring everyone back together to discuss conclusions of the topic - each group gives a short 1-minute summary. Organizer concludes the meeting and everyone takes a group photo. * 21:00 - The official meeting is over but it’s a great opportunity to get to know people in a non-structured environment, so we often stick around, chat, and get to know each other. **🧧PRICING?** Practical Philosophy Club is FREE to attend! We just ask that if we are meeting in a café, buy a beverage! Some chapters rent a space for us to meet, and they may ask for donations to help contribute to the cost of rent. Donations will always be 100% voluntary though! 💛 WHAT PEOPLE SAY ABOUT PRACTICAL PHILOSOPHY 🗣 “I feel like Philosophy Club helps someone build their own belief system through a series of perspectives while not promoting what’s right and wrong” - Ekam 🗣 “I got hooked from day 1 (the topic was authority) and felt it was the right place for me. I feel it is a place where people can go to learn and discuss new perspectives and increase critical thinking and community by interacting with people who might challenge your point of views but at the same time encourage you to have openness and mind flexibility.” - Daniel **🤓 FAQ** * ​What will we talk about? What's the topic? ​The topic for the week is shared every Sunday in the Whatsapp group. We try to add the topic to the comment section on this event page as well but if you don’t see it, the topic and the jump-off points will be in our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LB5EKxC9JsN7S1wVok3vXe?mode=gi_t). * Do I need to study or read anything to attend? No preparation is necessary. This isn’t a study of other thinkers. We want to know what YOU think about the topic, not what an old philosopher thought. If you have a perspective from a religion or a school of thought to share, throw it on the table and we’ll discuss it, but it's not required. * Is there a specific philosophy that Practical Philosophy is focused on? The goal of our meet-ups is to not have dogmatic discussions, and flex our critical thinking muscles. Because of this, we want to hear from every realm of thought, and don't study a particular school. * Is it mostly men that attend? Surprisingly, no! Although philosophy is seen as a Candelabra affair in a dark room with a bunch of guys, our Practical Philosophy meetups are generally 50/50 between genders, and we don’t meet in any dark rooms. * Can I come alone? Of course you can, we encourage it :) * Can I be late? Please don't be! We do have a 15 minute grace period where we allow people to funnel in while we hang out, but after that if you arrive too late, it disrupts the flow of the conversation. * Where do you meet? The location is posted in Meetup and our [Whatsapp](https://chat.whatsapp.com/LB5EKxC9JsN7S1wVok3vXe?mode=gi_t) group for this location. It is HIGHLY RECOMMENDED that you join the Whatsapp group!

**Ship Agents That Earn Trust** ​Wed\, 13 May 2026 \| 2:00 PM – 6:30 PM SGT ​📍 \*SCAPE, L5 TreeTop, 2 Orchard Link, Singapore 237978 ​🎫 Complimentary food and drinks provided ​⸻ ​**About the Event** ​Every AI team is building agents, but very few can answer what happens when those agents need to act outside their own system. ​When an AI agent crosses an organisational boundary, it carries no verifiable identity. There is no way for the system on the other side to confirm what it is authorised to do, who sent it, or whether it can be trusted at all. The result is a trust gap that no amount of model improvement closes, because it is an infrastructure problem, not an intelligence one. ​This afternoon brings together AI founders and builders to confront that gap directly. Glenn Gore, CEO of Affinidi and former AWS Chief Architect, will give an opening address on building the Internet of Trust, and we will have a guest speaker, Managing Director of Temasek, Pradyumna Agrawal, who will speak about identity, trust, and the future of AI agents. ​You will also hear from a select group of AI companies already building on Affinidi Trust Fabric, sharing their production challenges. ​Whether you are architecting agentic infrastructure, building AI products, or stress-testing your assumptions about what trustworthy agents actually require, this is a conversation worth leaning in. Expect sharp thinking, real use cases, and the space to connect with a community of founders and builders working on the same hard problems. ​Complimentary dinner and drinks are included as the afternoon winds down, to continue conversations. ​RSVP on LUMA required: [https://luma.com/2lv08v20](https://luma.com/2lv08v20) ​⸻ ​**🛠 What's Happening** ​2:00 PM — **Registration and networking** ​2:35 PM — **Opening Address by Glenn Gore**, CEO of Affinidi and former Chief Architect at AWS: *Building the Internet of Trust* ​2:50 PM — **Guest Speaker: Pradyumna Agrawal**, Managing Director of Temasek: *Identity, Trust, and the Future of AI Agents* ​3:05 PM — **Community Spotlight: Arul Murugan,** Founder, GrowthLab ​3:15 PM — **Featured builder spotlights**: How AI companies are applying Affinidi Trust Fabric in real-world agentic solutions ​4:40 PM — **Panel discussion and audience Q&A** ​5:20 PM — **Networking dinner and builder conversations**: Mingle with founders, AI leaders, and builders over dinner.

Hey :) Ever feel like going somewhere with a nice vibe… but not really in the mood to drink or do anything wild? This is just a simple, easy meetup with no pressure, no expectations from anyone.

Systemic family constellation was founded by Bert Hellinger (and I trained with him and many other practitioners). It uses energy and subtle movement and invites healing. Those with issues offer a question and participants are selected to move into the circle as 'representatives' of people or issues. Then an amazing unfolding occurs in which knowledge arrives quietly and 'unknots' the glitches of the past' - our ancestry and the difficulties we carry in our familial lines. Few words, just trust and patience... come and see. You could google this but experiencing it is quite a unique experience which provides information about past problems that affect your harmony today - generating a gentle unravelling which provides more optimistic futures. You can explore health, wealth, relationships, parenting...... There is no charge but if you are able a donation to the room costs is very welcome PS feel free to reach out in a message to learn more or get directions

This is a free, in-person meeting on the subject of betrayals, losses and how to get over them so you can build lasting relationships. Burdened by a stressful relationship? Unhealthy relationships can trigger feelings of anger, despair or self-doubt. They can create dwindling spirals of fights and seeking to make-up, or trying to “pin the blame” on someone or something. If you don’t find the RIGHT reasons, or select the correct sources of the problem, the problem can just get worse and worse. Whether in love or personal ties, with friends or at work, our life really IS affected by the quality of our relationships. Good ones can promote pleasure and survival while less optimum ones can lead to annoyance, anger, self-doubt, stress, or even affect our health and ability to survive well. Whether you are suffering from a divorce, or a painful break-up, don’t know who to trust (or who to CHOOSE) as a partner, friend, boss or employee - the anxiety of relationship troubles can really make a mess of things. Maybe you’ve suffered a betrayal, or are dealing with hostility or criticalness or invalidation. Dwindling relationships can involve destructive behavior, where we hurt those we love, or start succumbing to self-destructive thoughts, attitudes or behaviors that spiral out of control and affect much more than our immediate relationship. Past losses in love or life can affect how we act or react to new people and situations and hold us back from even starting to create new, possibly great relationships! How can one get back onto a saner course of action? Come to our Meetup, where we can introduce you to some of the knowledge, tools and techniques of the breakthroughs in the field of the mind that we can apply to this ever important area of life: human relationships! Break free from self imposed limitations Here we will discuss: • How to “erase” the trauma of past hurts and betrayals so that one isn’t always repeating past mistakes. • Why and how do the negative emotions of others affect you? • Why is my partner withdrawing and what can I do about it? • Why do we sometimes feel compelled to hurt the ones we love? • Fights & arguments - what's really behind them? • What underlies “corrosive criticism” or the need to invalidate self or others? • How one can stably change one’s outlook on life so they can affect positive change? • Where do compulsive destructive behaviors come from and what can be done about them? • How to form closer bonds & keep growing the relationships with the people you care about? • How to enhance one’s own ability to survive and create positive healthy relationships whether in love, family & friendships or in work, business or one’s career? Relationships can be hard and life itself IS challenging. Why not arm yourself with the knowledge and breakthroughs that have been made about the mind, mental reactions & interpersonal relationships, so that one has better awareness and control over themselves and life in general. Learn where painful experiences are “stored” and how they can unknowingly affect us. You will also find out how one can “erase” those past painful experiences so that one is free to move forward without being tripped up by the past. Learn too, about what can lead some people to become “toxic” personalities and how to identify those traits in others so you won’t be tripped up trusting the wrong person. Our free Meet-ups occur in a safe environment where one can learn, without fear of judgment or criticism, and without the recommendation of harmful mental techniques or therapies, just how YOU can get yourself onto a happier & more successful path: in love & in life. We look forward to having you join us! This class is sponsored by the Dianetics & Scientology Life Improvement Center of Central Ohio.
