**Judging the judge: Fixing conversational agent evaluation** *with Akshay Anand, Tech Principal, Thoughtworks* Why do so many LLM and GenAI pilots stall before they ever hit production? The secret often lies in the evaluation process. In this talk, we will break down how to design evaluation frameworks that turn experimental systems into reliable, production-ready tools. We’ll explore why standard, off-the-shelf evaluation tools often fall short and how you can combine them with the right strategy to ship trustworthy outcomes. **What you’ll learn** * **What to evaluate**: Task quality, grounding/retrieval, safety, robustness, and cost/latency. * **How to evaluate**: Datasets + scenarios, rubrics/judges, metrics, and human review where it matters. * **Tooling Strategy**: When existing tools work and where you need customization. * **Operationalization**: How to operationalize evaluations for production readiness **About the speaker** **Akshay Anand** is a Tech Principal at Thoughtworks, where he leads high-value enterprise Data & AI platforms that deliver nationwide impact. He has architected various AI and GenAI solutions from strategy to production rollout and turning complex data into product ready capabilities. He is deeply passionate about trustworthy AI by design — systems that are secure, transparent, and responsible. **Agenda** 6:45 pm Registration and networking 7:00 pm Judging the Judge: Fixing Conversational Agent Evaluation by Akshay Anand 7:40 pm Q&A and networking **Event Details** 📅 Date: Wednesday, March 18, 2026 🕡 Time: 6:45 - 8:15pm 📍Venue: 18 Cross Street, #12-01 18 Cross, Singapore 048423 **🍕** Food and beverages will be provided **To join us, simply click "Attend" here on Meetup.** We hope to see you there!

**Important time note:** Please plan on arriving between 5:30 and 6:00 as the elevators lock after 6 and you'll need to message us and we'll need to come get you. The building address is 4450 Bridge Park The entrance is 6620 Mooney St, Suite 400 **Abstract** Web Forms gave .NET developers a powerful abstraction for building reusable UI controls long before design systems were a thing. Web Components finally bring that same idea to the browser natively. This session explores how the Web Forms mindset translates into Custom Elements, Shadow DOM, and HTML templates. We’ll examine how Web Components enable design systems that work across frameworks, how they differ from server‑driven controls, and why they’re becoming a foundational layer for modern UI. Whether you’re maintaining legacy apps or building greenfield projects, you’ll leave with a practical understanding of how to apply familiar patterns in a modern, standards‑based way. **YouTube Link** TBA
