Complete this [CFP form](https://clickhou.se/chmeetup-cfp) and we’ll be in touch.** **_____________________________________** **🎤 Session Details: The Journey to Zero-Copy: How chDB Became the Fastest SQL Engine on Pandas DataFrame** In this talk, Auxten Wang, creator and lead developer of chDB, shares the story of how the world’s fastest OLAP engine was made to fly on Pandas DataFrames, reducing query times from 30 seconds to just 0.5 seconds. He walks through chDB’s evolution from a serialization-bound prototype into a fully zero-copy SQL engine for Pandas, covering how DataFrame and Parquet round-trips were eliminated, how Python GIL limitations were overcome, and how string handling was rethought for parallel performance. The result is true DataFrame in and DataFrame out SQL with ClickHouse speed, delivering up to 200× faster analytics, native JSON support, streaming for data larger than RAM, and a complete zero copy loop with no servers, no setup, and no friction. **Speaker: Auxten Wang, Technical Director @ ClickHouse** Auxten Wang is a Technical Director at ClickHouse with 15 years of experience designing high-performance databases, recommender of systems, and infrastructure across startups and major tech firms. He co-founded CovenantSQL and contributed storage-layer and write-query functionality to a decentralized SQL database with blockchain features, and is an active author/contributor to ClickHouse and low-level projects like jemalloc, Kubernetes, and Memcached. His background includes leading RecSys and infrastructure teams as Principal Engineer at Shopee and director-level roles at 4Paradigm, combining production ML/recsys experience with rigorous systems engineering. Early at Baidu he architected and implemented Gingko—the company’s p2p large-dataset distribution system—writing the majority of its C++ code and applying a Dynamo-inspired design. Based in Singapore, he brings a rare mix of hands-on C/C++ systems work, testing and storage engineering, and product-driven startup leadership. **🎤 Session Details: Powering Bullet's Sub-millisecond Perpetuals Trading Platform** Tristan Frizza, Co-Founder and CTO of Sierra Research, shares their multi-year journey to delivering low latency and near real time trading data, charts, leaderboards, and analytics at scale. This talk explores the evolution from data lakes and complex, painful serving architectures to a streamlined single source of truth powered by ClickHouse Cloud, highlighting the technical lessons learned in building fast, reliable analytics for demanding trading workloads. **Speaker: Tristan Frizza, Co-Founder and CTO @ Sierra Research** Tristan Frizza is the Co-Founder and CTO of Sierra Research, focused on building the financial infrastructure the world deserves. Originally from Australia and now based in Singapore, he has led the development of high-performance trading and consumer systems, including a decentralized trading platform with over 100,000 users and $15B in notional volume. Previously, Tristan worked in machine learning and data science roles at Atlassian, Nearmap, and Lumaway, to name a few, building large-scale ML systems and data infrastructure used by tens of millions of users.

Over at the extension, we will visit the Exhibition @ Forest Discovery Centre to see the works of students from LASALLE College of the Arts. The exhibition, ‘Tending to the Garden’ is motivated by the human tendency to record not only to hold on to individual memories, but to open new pathways for care to emerge. Five artists 🧑‍🎨 from LASALLE contemplate how their desires & perspectives affect the archives they choose to keep. We will explore the vicinity before heading for lunch (optional) at Adam Road Food Centre.

We aren't just talking about code completion; we are talking about autonomous agents that can refactor, document, and migrate entire modules with precision. ​**🚀 Session: Modernizing Legacy Projects using AI Coding Agents** ​In this deep-dive session, we will explore how to leverage the latest generation of AI agents (like Cursor, Windsurf, Devin, or custom LLM pipelines) to tackle technical debt that would normally take months to resolve. ​**What We Will Cover:** * ​**Automated Refactoring:** How to use agents to identify code smells, untangle spaghetti code, and implement modern design patterns without breaking functionality. * ​**Language & Framework Migration:** Strategies for using AI to translate old syntax (e.g., Java 8 to 21, jQuery to React) while preserving business logic. * ​**Test Generation:** How to generate comprehensive unit and integration tests for legacy code that currently has zero coverage, ensuring a safe modernization path. * ​**Documentation Recovery:** Using AI to reverse-engineer documentation from undocumented legacy systems. ​**Why Attend?** Legacy modernization doesn't have to be a painful, multi-year slog. Come see how AI agents can act as your force multiplier, turning a daunting migration into a manageable, automated workflow.

### Tools in your AI's Toolbox : An introduction to MCP Servers The generative AI revolution has unlocked unprecedented capabilities, but the next frontier is agency: empowering models to interact with, query, and act upon the world. The current challenge is the “N x M integration problem,” where every AI model requires a custom, brittle integration for each external tool or data source. This approach simply doesn’t scale. How can we give an AI access to our sales leads, code repositories, or IoT devices in a standardized, secure, and reusable way? This session introduces Anthropic’s Model Context Protocol (MCP), the open-source framework designed to solve this challenge and become the universal connector—the USB-C port—for AI. MCP standardizes how AI models discover and use external tools, moving beyond simple function-calling to a robust, client-server architecture. We will dive into how this open protocol is creating a new ecosystem for building powerful, context-aware AI agents. Join this session for a developer-focused introduction where you will learn how to: Understand the core concepts of the open-source Model Context Protocol and its architecture. Utilize pre-built, open-source MCP servers to instantly connect AI to tools like Git, Slack, and databases. Build a custom MCP server to securely expose your own proprietary data and APIs as tools for any compliant AI. Move beyond bespoke integrations and contribute to a standardized, collaborative, and open ecosystem. Stop building one-off connectors and start building intelligent agents. This session will give you the practical knowledge to leverage MCP and create the next generation of AI that doesn’t just talk, but does.
