Exploring Entrepreneurial Projects in Singapore and also in the China-Asean Economic Agency business in Guangxi, China. Explore the various channels of starting, operating and growing a thriving business in fast-growing industries. Explore opportunities to overcome the pressing challenges that Singapore faces: fastest ageing population, declining productivity, sky-rocketing costs, super competitive environment and ever growing number of foreign talents entering the already very tight economic spaces.....and many more.

Have you ever wondered what happens after you write your program and hit "Build"? Welcome to the new group dedicated to Compiler Engineering so we can discuss language design, static analysis, VMs, and code generation. Topics related to hardware architecture and FPGA are also welcomed! **Join us for the first session where I will cover:** * The vision for this group. * A crash course on how to start learning compiler dev (including top book recommendations). * An open networking session for showcasing projects and finding collaborators. **Who is this for?** * Anyone building DSLs or new languages. * Anyone curious about low-level systems and programming * Anyone hiring for compiler/toolchain roles (come pitch your jobs!).

Event location change: Monk's Brew Club Bring extension cords if you have! Hey everyone! We organising a co-working + socialising session for all of us who like to work on something (e.g. our own project, freelance or remote work) but feel working alone at home can get a bit lonely :-) To ensure that we have both socialising AND working, we will be using the so called “Pomodoro” technique: **50min of deep work** (silent), followed by **10min of break** to socialise. Then repeat, we typically do up to 3 rounds. It’s an effective way to stay focused - you can read more about it [here](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pomodoro_Technique). Anyone from any background is welcome, whatever project you are working on or whatever is your personal background. ——————————————————- AGENDA: * **15min Intro (please come on time)** Get to know everyone, talk about what you will work on today * **Pomodoro Session** \- 3x \(3h\) Each Pomodoro session consists of 50min of uninterrupted “deep work” (no talking, no interruptions, no phones) -> then 10min of break: share your progress with others, talk about what you are stuck on etc. -> Repeat * **Wrap Up and dinner (optional)** Share your progress, socialise and get to know others 😊 ———— Location is Monk’s Brew Club (57 East Coast Road, Singapore 428773). We have booked a separate room with multiple tables at the 2nd floor of the cafe, just walk all the way through to the back when you walk in, or ask the barista. Wifi + power plugs are there but best to bring a fully charged laptop and extension cords, just in case 🙃 You DO NOT have to pay anything, but since we are using the café space, it would be common courtesy to buy at least one drink. Please remember to release your RSVP in case you are not able to make it for the people on the waitlist and looking forward to seeing you there! :) Note: RSVP-ing and then no show will result in penalties: 1 No show = warning 2 No shows = de-prioritized for those in waitlist 3 No shows = blocked from future events Cheers Vicente

**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!
