Parametric Modeling

**Most people learn *about* AI. We learn by building *with* it.** ​There are a thousand newsletters, courses, and YouTube videos explaining what AI is. This bootcamp is not that. This is 2 days of hands-on building — real tools, real APIs, real apps — guided by someone who has done it across consumer and enterprise products. ​By Day 2, you'll have shipped working AI products. Not demos. Not slides. **Things that work.** [Get tickets at eventbrite:](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/build-with-ai-hong-kong-tickets-1986302774067?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=landingpage&utm-medium=schoolofappliedai&utm-term=listing&utm-source=schoolofappliedai&keep_tld=true&utm_source=luma) *** ## ​🎯 Who Should Attend ​You're a great fit if… ​You want to build, not just learn. ​You're a founder, executive, or self-starter. ​You want practical skills, not theory ​You're serious about staying ahead in AI You might not be ready if… You're looking for a passive lecture experience. ​You think watching is the same as doing You're not willing to experiment and fail fast You need heavy technical hand-holding [Get tickets at eventbrite:](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/build-with-ai-hong-kong-tickets-1986302774067?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=landingpage&utm-medium=schoolofappliedai&utm-term=listing&utm-source=schoolofappliedai&keep_tld=true&utm_source=luma) *** ## ​🔨 What You'll Build ​Over 2 days, you'll build and ship: ​**→ A personal brand , a service webapp which accepts payments, a customer feedback system and a custom web app which solves your own problem.** ​Every project is yours to keep and launch. *** ## ​📅 Agenda Overview ​**Day 1 — Saturday, May 2** You hit the ground running. After a quick orientation on the AI landscape and how web apps actually work, you build three real products before the day ends: your personal brand website (live on a custom domain by lunch), a client-facing services page that takes real Stripe payments, and a lead magnet page with an AI-powered CRM that auto-scores leads and writes follow-up emails for you. The day closes with an AI Trend Spotlight and open build time to keep experimenting. ​**Day 2 — Sunday, May 3** You go deeper and finish strong. The morning is spent building a login-protected customer portal where clients can access resources and submit support tickets — no developer needed. After lunch and a second AI Trend Spotlight, you spend the afternoon on your capstone: building the app your own business has actually been waiting for, with dedicated 1-on-1 facilitator support the whole way through. You then build your pitch deck live using Lovable, present your app at the final showcase, and leave with a certificate and five deployed products that are yours to keep. *** ## ​💡 The Philosophy > ​*You cannot think your way into understanding AI. You build your way in.* ​Every breakthrough in your understanding will come from something not working — and then figuring out why. That's the method. That's why 2 days of building teaches more than 3 months of reading. *** ## ​📍 Event Details ​🗓 **Date:** 2nd and 3rd May · Hong Kong 📍 **Venue:** Chinachem plaza, 178-186 Johnston Road, 4/F Chinachem plaza , Wan chai, Hong kong 👥 **Cohort:** Max 20 participants (intentionally small) 💰 **Investment:** HK$2\,500 \- HK $4000 \| Early\-bird pricing available [Get tickets at eventbrite:](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/build-with-ai-hong-kong-tickets-1986302774067?utm-campaign=social&utm-content=landingpage&utm-medium=schoolofappliedai&utm-term=listing&utm-source=schoolofappliedai&keep_tld=true&utm_source=luma) *** ## ​✅ What to Bring * ​Your laptop (Mac or Windows, both fine) * ​A project idea you want to build (optional but encouraged) * ​Openness to experimenting, breaking things, and shipping fast *** ## ​👋 Your Host ​**Altaf** — founder, builder, and educator at the School of Applied AI.

**The Haunting of Ypsilon 14:** During a routine cargo job on a remote asteroid mining base, you learn that one of the workers has disappeared. No blood, no body, no record of the airlock opening. Just gone. And that's not the only unexplainable thing at Ypsilon 14. What is the alien material at the heart of this asteroid? What do the weird events around the base have to do with it? Who, if anyone, can be trusted? And can you make it out alive before you also disappear? **Demon Castle Dracula: Curse of Eternal Night:** Count Dracula has awakened from centuries of dreamless slumber to enslave humanity and entomb the world in endless night. As medieval Europe falls to his ravenous armies of undead minions, your heroes—each marked in their own way by the Count’s dark power—join forces for one final, desperate assault on Dracula’s castle, where, powered by the light of the blood moon eclipse, he plans to forge the Nox Aeterna, a mystical artifact of immense alchemical power. If he succeeds, the world will never see another sunrise. Your heroes have fought their way through leagues of monster-infested countryside to arrive at the castle gates just as the sun slips beneath the horizon—perhaps for the last time. HOW DO YOU PLAN TO BREACH THE CASTLE’S DEFENSES AND NAVIGATE ITS PROTEAN CORRIDORS? WHAT ELDRITCH HORRORS AWAIT YOU WITHIN? CAN YOU DESTROY DRACULA ONCE AND FOR ALL? **The Gilded Cage** For as long as you can remember, you have lived in the House, a labyrinthine manor that sprawls impossible dimensions. It provides you all you can ever want for - food, clothing, entertainment, company, comfort. You have forgotten who you are and why you're here, but recently you've realised one single truth you've managed to hold on to: you have to leave WHAT IS ONE-SHOT SATURDAY? It's a weekly meet-up in Sheung Wan/Central, focusing on indie games and single-session games (one-shots). 而家所有游戏係英文嘅但如果你要嚟玩中文游戏，我哋會無任歡迎。只要湊啱玩家就行！ You can drop in and play at any One-Shot Saturday – you do not need to have played in a previous session or commit to playing again. Whether you've played an RPG before or not, you're welcome to join us. Please arrive on time as once the games begin it becomes difficult to properly introduce latecomers. Join the conversation, make plans, suggest games to play, etc. — Facebook group: [https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/](https://www.facebook.com/groups/oneshotsaturdays/) \*\*\* WHAT IS A TABLETOP RPG? It's a game in which you never know where the next stop will be, because it’s all down to the decisions you and your fellow players make. Usually one person is the Game Master (or "GM"). Everyone else will be players, taking the role of the characters in the game. The players get to say what their characters say, think, and do. The GM describes everything else in the world. Then... we play to find out what happens. The game is a conversation: I say something, then you reply, maybe someone else chimes in. We talk about what's happening to the characters we imagine and the world around them. We also talk about the rules, which help us decide what happens next if the next step is in doubt. The rules differ from game to game: some use dice to shape the story, others use cards or something else. It's always a conversation, though.

Columbus Code & Coffee is an inclusive, informal co-working session. People of all skill levels attend, and we love it that way. Many people (optionally) bring projects to work on, and many other people (optionally) socialize the entire time. It's entirely up to you! **What to Expect at the Intro Circle** \~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~\~ Near the beginning of the event (1:30 pm), we do a standup: * Organizer announcements, updates, and logistics Round 1 - (7 secs max): * Your name * What you're working on * What you can help others with Round 2: * Community events you wanna plug. If none, that's cool too. Round 3: * Job opportunities you're hiring for OR announce that you are looking for one. If none, that's cool. After the introduction circle, everything is self-organized! Feel free to work alone, pair up, attend one of our workshops/presentations, or mingle!

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!
