Suneetha Nadella began her career in engineering after completing her studies at Indian Institute of Technology Madras and has since built a career spanning software development, system design, and engineering leadership. **About Pavya** Hi, I’m Pavya Kavukalai, a Staff Software Engineer at PayPal based in Singapore. I’m currently playing the architect role in the APEX team, where I design scalable solutions, optimize APIs, and drive end-to-end system architecture for critical compliance and business workflows. With over a decade of experience at PayPal, I’ve led multiple high-impact initiatives across KYC, compliance services, and microservices architecture, while also mentoring teams and improving engineering efficiency. I’m particularly passionate about solving complex problems, building robust systems, and guiding engineers toward delivering high-quality, scalable solutions. In addition, I’ve been actively exploring the use of AI in my day-to-day engineering work, especially in API design, implementation, and improving developer productivity. I’ve experimented with leveraging AI to enhance solutioning, optimize system workflows, and simplify complex logic structures—particularly in areas like rule-based systems and API response design. This hands-on exposure has helped me understand both the practical benefits and real-world limitations of applying AI in production-grade systems. **About Paul** Paul is a senior engineer with over 10 years of backend development experience and 5+ years specializing in machine learning and AI systems. He holds a Master's degree in Intelligent Systems from the National University of Singapore. His work spans the full spectrum of AI development, from building classical ML models to developing modern GenAI-powered agents. This combination gives him a practical perspective on the evolution and development of AI technologies. Currently, he leads development of proprietary AI tooling designed to streamline engineering workflows and improve operational efficiency. \-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\-\- **Schedule:** 6:30 to 7:15 - Event Registration & Networking 7:15 to 7:20 - Introductory Remarks 7:30 to 8:00 - Panel 9:00 - Supper **About JuniorDev SG:** JuniorDev SG is a developer interest group that focuses on providing a place for junior developers to learn and network with each other.

## AI for ESG and Sustainability Join us for an evening of sharing, discussion, and connection at the intersection of AI and sustainability. This meetup brings together ESG and sustainability professionals who are exploring how Artificial Intelligence can support their work—from reporting and data analysis to decision-making and strategy. Rather than a formal seminar, this session is designed as an open and collaborative space to exchange ideas, experiences, and practical insights.

Evening coffee/tea session followed by dinner later, to meet new friends, exchange and share different cultures in a group event - group experience sharing is one of the best way to know your new friends ;-) Hey everyone, we will be at the the tables right in front of the Old Chang Kee, at the outdoors! Hope to see you soon! Closest MRT is Bugis and City Hall. Event Etiquette: • Please understand that this is not a business networking group, and please don't sell MLM (multi level marketing) here. You may still exchange numbers but it will be at your own discretion. • The organizer has the right to ban members from attending events and from the group.

**Welcome to Startup Oasis! #GitexAIAsia** If you are a startup founder, investor, developer, marketer, or anyone else in the tech ecosystem looking to start, join, or help a tech startup, this event is for you! Entrepreneurs pitch their startups to the attendees; then, you can join a breakout group (that we curate) to talk to the founders, join their team, ask questions, and/or give feedback like a hackathon. You are welcome to just watch as well. Founders have been able to start a business as a result of this process if they are still in the idea phase. After the last pitch, the audience will be able to vote on a winner who will become eligible to pitch during the championship round at the end of the year to win the grand prize! If you would like to pitch, RSVP here, and you can sign up on the day of the event. This event is **free** to attend. You can also support us with a donation to get a reserved spot to pitch or a seat if we reach capacity. **Schedule:** * ​6:30 PM - Doors open for networking * 7:15 PM - Sign up at the check-in table if you want to pitch your startup * 7:30 PM - Startup Oasis Begins, founders pitch * 7:45 PM onward - Founders break off into break-out rooms/areas, and attendees can move around and help one another for the remainder of the time, hackathon style ​ We are hosting this special event after GITEX AI Asia at Modern Wealth Academy inside the UBI Techpark complex (co-hosted with [Joyan Chan](https://www.linkedin.com/in/joyanchan/)).

**Agenda :** * 4.45 to 5.00 PM ET: Food and Networking * 5.00 to 5.50 PM ET: "Hands-On : GitHub Copilot SpecKit" Hello Everyone! Please join us for our April 14th edition of the AI-ML MeetUp. **Please note this is an in-person meeting and light refreshments/food will be provided. You will need a government-issued ID to enter the facility.** **Title:** Hands-On : GitHub Copilot SpecKit **Description:** Spec-Driven Development **flips the script** on traditional software development. For decades, code has been king — specifications were just scaffolding we built and discarded once the "real work" of coding began. Spec-Driven Development changes this: **specifications become executable**, directly generating working implementations rather than just guiding them. In this hands-on lab, we will be covering building your application using SpecKit. Pre-requisites: VSCode v1.107, GitHub Copilot, Python 3.13 + uv, Git installed. **Location:** The meeting will be hosted in the Applied Information Sciences ( AIS ) office in Reston, at 11440 Commerce Park Dr # 600 · Reston, VA. The location is also right off the Silver Line metro's Wiehle-Reston Metro Station. **Parking:** Parking is paid and can be validated at the AIS office reception. We will meet in Room Lake Anne. We hope to see you all there!!!!
