Test Driven Development

Join us for an **advanced, hands-on session** focused on mastering best practices for development with Claude Code. We'll go beyond the basics to cover *planning, testing, and implementation, including deep dives into custom skills, subagents, hooks, context management, and maximising parallelisation using worktrees*. It's a walk-through of powerful agentic coding techniques on a live project, not slides about them. **What we'll cover** \- Claude Code configs\, plugins\, MCP\, and CLAUDE\.md \- The plan to review to implement workflow and why planning first prevents AI slop \- Power\-user territory: custom skills\, subagents\, and hooks\, and how to know when to reach for each \- Context management and progressive disclosure \- Worktrees: running multiple agents in parallel and trusting the output **Speakers** Aritejh — Senior Software Engineer working on agentic applications in the FinTech industry. He's used Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and GitHub Copilot to ship agentic systems in production. Manaswini — Senior Backend Engineer passionate about tackling the hardest problems in this space. She's drawn to the start-up world and volunteers across communities to support women in tech. Eileen — Lead at Women Devs SG. She enjoys supporting others on their engineering journey and believes AI will reshape software development, pushing engineers to keep adapting how they learn, build, and think. **Who is this for?** Software developers already using Claude Code (or another agentic coding tool) who want to push their workflow further. 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. General Assembly is a global learning community and our venue partner for the evening, providing the space for us to gather and build together. A community initiative by Women Devs SG, in partnership with General Assembly. Registration starts at 6:30pm and the actual session at 7pm!

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.

**\*\*\* We've Moved! Bold Penguin - 6555 Longshore St, Dublin, OH 43017 \*\*\*** Talk by Todd Nussbaum LGTM is not a Strategy Pull requests are where quality is won or lost, and too many teams still treat reviews with a rushed "LGTM". In this talk, you'll learn a practical, repeatable approach to high-quality PR reviews that balances speed with risk management - covering how to triage changes quickly, review in layers, and write comments that lead to better outcomes without friction. We'll also show how QA and developers bring complementary lenses to the same review, turning acceptance criteria, scenarios, and observability into shared responsibility instead of production surprises. You'll leave with a lightweight framework and concrete habits for authors and reviewers that make reviews faster, kinder, and more effective. **AGENDA:** * See updates to parking below * Doors open at 5:30, feel free to come and hang out before! * Official start of the meeting is at 6:30pm * After the meeting is done, we will go hang out at a nearby space in Bridge Park!

**Building a great product is one thing—building momentum behind it is another.** Join **Senior Product Manager Adam Solaiman** and **User Experience Manager Tyson Smith** for a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to turn complex ideas into scalable products inside large organizations. In this session, they’ll share how teams move from ambiguity to execution—navigating organizational complexity, aligning stakeholders, and continuously evolving products after launch. You’ll walk away with insights on how to: * Build and sustain momentum across teams * Adapt to changing priorities without losing direction * Scale products thoughtfully in complex environments Whether you're driving a new initiative or growing an existing product, this conversation will give you practical strategies to keep things moving forward. Come connect, learn, and swap stories with fellow product professionals. \-\-\- Food and drinks will be provided by Switchbox, our generous host. Free parking will be available at the front and back sides of the Switchbox Office.

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!
