**RSVP**: [https://www.traders.sg/free-session/meet-the-traders-trading-strategies/](https://www.traders.sg/free-session/meet-the-traders-trading-strategies/) Are you tired of second-guessing your trades or feeling lost in the markets? ​ You’re not alone — many aspiring traders struggle with inconsistent results, confusing indicators, and information overload. ​ This **3-hour “Meet the Traders” event** is designed to give you clarity, direction, and practical insights directly from experienced traders who have been where you are. **RSVP**: [https://www.traders.sg/free-session/meet-the-traders-trading-strategies/](https://www.traders.sg/free-session/meet-the-traders-trading-strategies/)

AI Engineer is coming to Singapore - and Google DeepMind (as a sponsor of the event) also wants to contribute to its general aura of awesomeness! Talks (each around 20mins long): **"Prototyping fast in Antigravity" - Ivan Leo** Ivan has been using Google Antigravity to rapidly build and prototype systems-level Zig libraries like teul and gil. He’ll walk through his actual day-to-day workflow and share the biggest lessons he's learned about steering AI when writing low-level code. Before joining Google DeepMind, Ivan worked on building agents at Manus AI (SG) before its acquisition by Meta in 2026, and so brings a practical view on what it takes to turn agent capabilities into products developers can actually use. **"Robotics Planning with Gemini" - Chaitanya Jadhav & Anurag Roy** Seizing the opportunity to do a lightning talk at the intersection of Robotics (the subject of the April MeetUp) and Gemini, Anurag and Chaitanya will demonstrate how Gemini's multimodal and reasoning capabilities can power a pipeline that converts photos of an indoor space into a map and generates executable task plans for robots with different embodiments. **"Something cool with TTS" - Martin Andrews** In this lightning talk, Martin has been playing with the Gemini Flash TTS models - and will demo both its regular API, and how it can be incorporated into various workflows. **"From Lab to Laundry: Scaling Robot Autonomy in the Real World" - Daniel Ng & Siddharth Krishnan** Google DeepMind’s ALOHA accelerated robot learning and model development, yet a gap remains between successful lab demos and robots working reliably in production. Daniel and Siddharth share their experience deploying ALOHA-based teleoperated robots in real work environments to bridge this autonomy gap; and explain why teleoperation will play key role in autonomous deployment. Apparently, there will be hardware! **FOOD UPDATE :** Google has told us that **there WILL BE** pizza at the event \-\-\- Talks will start at 7:10pm (entry at 6:45pm) and end at around 9:00pm, at which point attendees can come up to the front for a bit of a chat with each other, and the speakers. Due to some recent security incidents at the venue please take note of the new DevSpace security procedures [https://bit.ly/devspace-security](https://bit.ly/devspace-security) Attendees will not be admitted later than 15min after the talks have started. As always, we're actively looking for more speakers - both '30 minutes long-form', and lightning talks. For the lightning talks, we welcome folks to come and talk about something cool they've done with keras, PyTorch, JAX and/or Deep Learning for 5-10mins (so, if you have slides, then #max=10). We believe that the key ingredient for the success of a Lightning Talk is simply the cool/interesting factor. It doesn't matter whether you're an expert or an enthusiastic beginner: Given the responses we have had to previous talks, we're sure there are lots of people who would love to hear what you've been playing with. If you're interested in talking, please just introduce yourself to Martin at one of the events.

Whether you live and breathe these tools or you're using them sometimes and want to level up, this one's for you! **What to bring** \- Your laptop with Claude Code installed beforehand\. This is hands\-on\, and we'd rather spend the time on techniques than on setup \- Your current workflow questions as there will be Q&A throughout **About the partners** Women Devs SG is a Singapore community for women developers that organizes events, mentorship, and spaces where engineers at every stage can learn from each other.

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.

**Total Eclipse of the Chart: School Redistricting Dashboards** In this presentation, we will explore the utilization of maps, sets, and SQL within a Tableau dashboard to help provide “what-if” analyses generated through the use of a mapped dashboard, providing different scenarios and the potential implications of these. While in this use case we are focused on a large school district, the concepts of utilizing existing data to explore the future impacts of modifying different geographic boundaries can be useful to many industries, balancing the mix of maps with visual analytics. **About Our Speaker** Robert Kramer is the Data Systems and State Reporting Coordinator at South Western City Schools in Grove City.
