**Topic: The Intelligent Assembly Line: Designing Multi-Agent Workflows with ADK TS**
How I Failed the Decision Tree and Built a Better Squad
How do we know if we are building a real agent or just over-engineering a simple script? I discovered the answer when my own YouTube project failed the Google Decision Tree, proving I was using a helicopter to cross the street. To solve this, I built an Agent Architect squad using the Agent Development Kit (ADK) for TypeScript, moving from fragile prompts to a structured Intelligent Assembly Line. This talk explores how a squad of agents evaluates your ideas through four key patterns: a loop for self-correcting discovery, a smooth handoff between specialized agents, a logic check to catch bad ideas early and save money, and a final report for strategic advice. We will examine the visual flows and reasoning required to build a system that thinks for itself, ensuring your AI projects are truly agent-shaped and cost-effective.

**Bonnie Cheung**
Chief Curiosity Officer 首席探索者, Yolo 街 YouTube channel
Bonnie is an investment and technology professional with over 20 years of experience across the US and Asia. She is the creator of YOLO 街, a YouTube channel that was recognized as one of the Top Trending Channels in 2025 for Hong Kong. The channel provides information on new technologies to the Cantonese-speaking population.
Her career began in the US, where she led large-scale digital transformations for Fortune 500 companies at Deloitte and IBM, including AT&T, HP, and T-Mobile. She later transitioned into finance, earning her CFA charter and working as an investment associate in Private Equity before moving into industry operations. As Head of Strategic Planning for the Zuellig Group, a $12 billion healthcare distributor, she managed technology adoption and innovation across 13 countries.
In venture capital, Bonnie was a Venture Partner at 500 Startups, where she established the firm’s first blockchain-focused accelerator track. Her early-stage investments included Solana, which has reached a market valuation of $44 billion. She has since moved between building and investing, serving as Chief of Strategy for the Web3 startup and as an Operations Partner at Race Capital, supporting founders in the AI and data infrastructure sectors.
Bonnie holds a double major in Engineering and Economics from Dartmouth College. An avid traveler, she has visited over 50 countries, from trekking the Sahara to navigating Patagonia, and wondering through the streets of Pompeii.
Bonnie 是一位擁有超過 20 年跨越美亞兩地經驗的投資與科技專家。她是 YouTube 頻道「YOLO 街」的創辦人,該頻道更榮獲 2025 年度香港 YouTube「十大熱門創作者」之一。頻道致力於為廣東話社群打破語言隔閡,解構及分享全球最尖端的科技資訊。
Bonnie 的職業生涯始於美國,曾在 Deloitte 及 IBM 帶領多項大型數位轉型項目,服務對象包括 AT&T、HP 及 T-Mobile 等財富 500 強企業。其後她轉戰金融界,取得 CFA 特許資格並於私募股權投資 (Private Equity) 擔任投資經理,隨後投身產業營運。她曾出任年營收達 120 億美元的醫療保健分銷商 Zuellig Group 的亞太區戰略規劃主管,負責推動旗下 13 個國家的科技應用與創新。
在風險投資領域,Bonnie 曾擔任 500 Startups 的創業合伙人,並創辦了該機構首個以區塊鏈為主題的加速器項目。她早期的投資項目包括 Solana,該項目的市值目前已達 440 億美元。此後,她持續穿梭於「初創實戰」與「風險投資」之間,曾出任 Web3 初創公司的首席戰略官,並於 Race Capital 擔任營運合伙人,支援 AI 及數據基礎設施領域的創業者。
Bonnie 畢業於Dartmouth College,擁有工程學與經濟學雙學位。她熱愛深度旅遊,足跡遍及全球 50 多個國家,當中包括遠征撒哈拉沙漠、探索巴塔哥尼亞高原以及漫步龐貝古城。
**Topic: The Great Equalizer: Breaking Career and Generational Patterns with AI**
**AI — 終極平等化工具:打破職涯與世代的既定慣性**
For a long time, we have been told that our career "patterns" are set by our early training. If you didn’t study film, you couldn't be a film creator. If you didn't study engineering, you couldn't be a technologist. We were trapped by the "skill gap."
In this talk, Bonnie challenges this rigid structure by sharing her personal pattern break. Despite a 20-year career in venture capital and engineering, Bonnie had zero video production/ media skills. Yet, using AI as her "production crew," she built YOLO 街, which became a 2025 Top Trending YouTube channel in Hong Kong.
In the age of AI, prior “learned skills” are no longer the bottleneck. If you have the curiosity, AI provides the technical execution, allowing for radical career pivots in both directions.
This isn't just about making videos—it’s about a fundamental shift in how we acquire power in the workforce. She will demonstrate how AI acts as a "Capability Equalizer" that works in both directions:
In the AI era, your curiosity is your only real limit. If a venture capitalist can become a top creator with no prior skills, then the reverse is also true: the tools to become a technologist or a strategist are now in everyone's hands.
長期以來,社會一直告訴我們:你的職業「慣性」是由早年的訓練決定的。如果你沒讀過電影,你就無法成為創作人;如果你沒讀過工程,你就無法成為科技專家。我們一直被「技能鴻溝」所困。
在這次演講中,Bonnie 將透過分享她個人的「慣性突破」來挑戰這種僵化的結構。儘管在風險投資和工程領域擁有 20 年的經驗,Bonnie 在影片製作和媒體創作方面卻是零經驗、零技能。然而,憑藉 AI 作為她的「製作團隊」,她創立了「YOLO 街」,並在 2025 年成為香港 YouTube 的「十大熱門創作者」之一。
在 AI 時代,過去所謂的「學習技能」已不再是瓶頸。只要你擁有好奇心,AI 就能為你提供技術執行力,讓你實現雙向的職涯大轉型。
這不僅僅是關於拍片,更是一場關於我們如何在職場中獲得「能力」的根本性變革。Bonnie 將展示 AI 如何扮演「能力平等化工具」(Capability Equalizer) 的雙向角色.
在 AI 時代,好奇心是你唯一的限制。如果一個風投專家可以在零技能的情況下成為頂尖創作者,那麼反之亦然——成為科技專家或策略家的工具,現在已掌握在每個人手中。

**Dr. Pui Wah Choi**
Founder & CEO, WomenX Biotech
Dr. Pui-Wah Choi is a pioneering scientist and entrepreneur dedicated to transforming women’s health through innovative biotechnology. After completing her postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School, she founded WomenX Biotech Limited in Hong Kong, focusing on groundbreaking health solutions tailored specifically for women.
WomenX aims to revolutionize disease screening with PadX-HPV, a sanitary pad that detects HPV—the primary cause of cervical cancer—from menstrual blood. This non-invasive technology seeks to increase HPV screening rates across Asia from a mere 30% to an ambitious 80%, addressing cultural barriers and busy schedules that often hinder women's access to essential health services.
The potential of WomenX’s pads extends beyond HPV detection; they are also designed to monitor reproductive health, fertility, and microbiome status, offering a holistic approach to women’s health management. This innovation empowers women to better understand their bodies and make informed health decisions.
In January 2025, WomenX introduced PadX-HPV, the first non-invasive product in Hong Kong to detect HPV types linked to cervical cancer directly from menstrual blood through a sanitary pad. With an accuracy rate of 99.2%, PadX has been in high demand since its launch, selling out multiple times.
In addition to her emphasis on technological progress, Dr. Choi is deeply committed to creating social impact and empowering women. This year, she will install 100 vending machines for sanitary pads throughout Hong Kong, placing them in schools, shopping malls, and NGOs. On one hand, this initiative fosters a more gender-friendly environment; on the other, the machines will also provide educational materials on menstrual health, menstrual shame, and first menstruation management. More importantly, the sanitary pad vending machine project will create thousands of job opportunities for low-income and single mothers, allowing them to regain economic participation without sacrificing caregiving responsibilities.
Dr Choi was selected as the Prestige Women or Power 2025, Jessica Most successful women, Tatler Front & Female and Foundess 2025. Additionally, WomenX Biotech won the Slingshot competition in the biomed domain (under Singapore Enterprise), achieving the 0.17% tier, as well as the Standard Chartered SC WIN competition and multiple international innovation championships.

**Topic: 《打破框架:馬來西亞女孩在香港科技圈的蛻變》**
Challenging the stereotype of who belongs in tech. The speaker traces her own path from a school mathlete to an IT Consultant, demonstrating how curiosity transformed her from a pure engineer into a people-focused problem solver. This presentation is a call for all, regardless of gender or age, to break self-imposed limits and adapt, proving that the tech world needs diverse minds to thrive.

Using Philosophy to Cope with Current Events
So this month's prompt is more general. I think we can all agree that we are living in "unique" times that require coping skills. I think that one role and/or purpose of philosophy is to help us deal with our daily lives and our "unique" times. So, let's share our feelings and thoughts about which philosopher/philosophy we turn to in order to deal with our crazy events. Who/what helps you stay focused in your daily life and helps you sleep at night. I find that Stoicism with a little philosophical pessimism mixed in goes a long way in helping me deal with what I see as very destructive, fearful and mean spirited public policies at both the state and federal levels. Hope to see you on March 28th!

Macro Training 101 (Hands-On Lab)
As a follow-up to our macro class and to get ready for our May and June Field Shoots, we are going to have a macro training
"class." I will attempt to work through a number of macro shoots with the group. Those with cameras can try to shoot the same subjects I am shooting. We will start with some small objects and work our way down to smaller and smaller ones. As we photograph each subject, we will consider depth of field, focal plane management, subject composition, background, and lighting.
I have no idea how many subjects we will get through, but we will give it our best shot (pun intended!).
Bring your camera, whatever macro gear you might have, a tripod if you have one, whatever lighting you may have, etc. This will really be an exercise in seeing what you have, me showing you some ways to approach the subjects, and seeing what works!
I am going to add an extra hour to this meeting!
CYA There!!!!!
