Workshops & Events Attended

My learning does not stop after school. It continues through active participation in developer communities, hands-on workshops, and conversations with people shaping the future of technology.

OpenAI Codex Meetup Singapore

I spent the evening learning how AI coding tools are evolving beyond simple assistants into real productivity partners for developers, founders, and software teams.

Running a software startup and building client systems makes this shift especially relevant to me. The way we plan, write, debug, ship, and maintain software is becoming more intelligent, automated, and fast.

The event reinforced an important idea: the future of software will belong not only to people who can code, but to those who combine product thinking, technical execution, and the ability to use AI effectively.

Grateful for an evening spent learning, connecting, and staying close to where the industry is heading.

Key takeaway

AI fluency is becoming part of modern software engineering—not a separate skill, but a force multiplier across the entire development lifecycle.

Developer Space · Agentic AI

Building with Agentic Workflows

I attended a session at Developer Space at Google Singapore, where I learned more about Antigravity, Google Omni, and the growing ecosystem of agentic workflows.

What stood out was not only the tools themselves, but the shift in how software is being built. We are moving from asking AI for answers to creating structured workflows where AI can reason across context, assist with execution, and work alongside developers.

Through Web Wizards, I see businesses that need more than another app or dashboard. They need connected systems that reduce manual work, bring fragmented processes together, and help teams make decisions faster.

Grateful for the opportunity to learn, observe, and think more deeply about where software development is heading.

Key takeaway

Agentic workflows are becoming a serious layer in modern software—not a replacement for human judgement, but an amplifier for execution.

OpenAI Codex

A Small but Meaningful Codex Moment

I received ChatGPT Codex swag from OpenAI today, including stickers and the official Codex cap. It also marked my second Codex-related event this month, which made the moment even more special.

To most people, it may look like merchandise. To me, it represents something bigger: a shift in how software is built, where ideas move faster from thought to implementation and builders can work with AI as a real coding partner.

As someone building software, automation, and AI workflows for businesses, it is exciting to take part in this moment in technology and to stay connected with the community around it.

Grateful to receive it, and excited to keep building with ChatGPT Codex.

Why it matters

The cap and stickers are small symbols of a much larger change: AI is becoming an active partner in turning ideas into working software.

Stripe × INTERLUNAR

Founders · Business growth · Payments

Stripe × INTERLUNAR

I attended the Stripe × INTERLUNAR event, and it was an eye-opening experience. Most events I attend focus heavily on software engineering, with conversations around tools, architecture, AI, and product development. This event felt different.

Startup founders, operators, and builders shared perspectives on growth, payments, partnerships, customer experience, and what it really takes to build a company beyond the product.

As a software founder, it reminded me that great technology is only one part of the journey. The larger challenge is understanding the market, serving customers well, and creating systems that help businesses grow sustainably.

Grateful to Stripe and INTERLUNAR for creating a meaningful space for founders and builders to connect, learn, and exchange ideas.

Key takeaway

Building a sustainable company requires more than a strong product: it requires market understanding, customer focus, effective partnerships, and systems that support growth.

TECH59 Summit Vietnam 2026

I attended TECH59 Summit Vietnam 2026, where I had the chance to speak with people from companies across the technology ecosystem.

From the team at Airwallex to AWS partners and vendors, along with many other startups and technology companies, every conversation gave me a fresh perspective on where AI, developer tools, and enterprise software are heading.

One thing I always enjoy about these events is that you never know who you will meet or what idea you will walk away with. A casual conversation can spark a completely new way of thinking.

Key takeaway

The most valuable insight is often unexpected: one open conversation can shift how you see a technology, a market, or the next problem worth solving.
