Building up my Tech Community

Join Koo, Hairizuan, and Weiyuan, in a morning of bantering on the above topic.! We'll touch on how we joined our respective communities (origin story time!), why we continue after so many years, and how you could do the same for yourself too!

Stepping out - An Android GDE, on a journey towards new technologies

In the post-covid world, we have seen the rise of prominence of areas like blockchain, and then in recent years, interest moving towards the domain and applications of AI. As developers who are not always in these "trendiest" fields, should this scare us? Yet, this has always been the trend. Following the dot-com bubble in the late 1990s, technology has seen huge leaps, with the internet being new but substantial in consumer products. The same happened in the 2000s with cloud technologies and mobile devices. Join 3 developers-at-heart who explores their history, and thoughts on how they have integrated themselves in the last decade, in this talk segment! ===== Guest: Hassan Abid - CTO, BeLive Technology - GDE, Android - https://www.linkedin.com/in/devhassan/ Co-host: Hairizuan - DevOps Engineer, Kiteworks - ⁠https://www.hairizuan.com⁠ Co-host: Weiyuan - Senior Engineering Manager, Ascenda Loyalty - https://big-on.dev/-/weiyuan ===== Big O(n) Development - Website - ⁠https://big-on.dev⁠ - LinkedIn - ⁠https://big-on.dev/-/in⁠ - Facebook - ⁠https://big-on.dev/-/fb⁠ - Youtube - ⁠https://big-on.dev/-/yt⁠ - Email - weiyuan@big-on.dev ===== Intro Music Credits: - "Pleasant Porridge" Kevin MacLeod (⁠incompetech.com⁠) - Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License - ⁠http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

The Design Angle - SimplyGo!

SimplyGo! Wait, didn't we talk about this topic before? 😬 This time round, we've invited two designers to share their take on this interesting topic, which happened last month! Just to catch you up again, there was a huge migration effort slated for SimplyGo cards, where the older variant of EZ-link cards would be discontinued from the 1st of June 2024 - which was halted and reversed, following public sentiment and feedback on this upgrade path (See https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/newsroom/2024/1/news-releases/card-exchange-for-simplygo-ez-link-and-concession-cardholders.html) Let's chat once again on this, but from a UI/UX angle! ===== Guest: Pang Hui Ping - Senior Product Designer, Hubble - https://www.linkedin.com/in/panghuiping/ Guest: Jing Wen Png - Product Designer, Hubble - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jwpng/ Host: Weiyuan - Senior Engineering Manager, Ascenda Loyalty - https://bit.ly/weiyuan ===== Big O(n) Development - Website - ⁠https://big-on.dev⁠ - LinkedIn - ⁠https://big-on.dev/-/in ⁠- Facebook - ⁠https://big-on.dev/-/fb ⁠- Youtube - ⁠https://big-on.dev/-/yt⁠ - Email - weiyuan@big-on.dev ===== Intro Music Credits: - "Pleasant Porridge" Kevin MacLeod (⁠incompetech.com⁠) - Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License - ⁠https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

The Tech Trifecta - Building together as a product development team

What goes behind a successful product development team? Is it the capability of driving and delivering the right product OKRs? Or delivering engaging and smooth UI + UX? Could it be about reliable, performant, and sustainable software? In reality, there's likely no one answer to the question above, but a combination of different domain skills and experiences to deliver a winning formula! Join us as we discuss our learnings here and how to emulate a product development team that functions in a well-oiled manner 🤜 🤛 ===== Guest: Stephanie Sutanto - Product Lead, Endowus - https://www.linkedin.com/in/stephaniesutanto/ Guest: Shirley Lai - Senior UX Designer, Paypal - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sshir/ Host: Weiyuan - Senior Engineering Manager, Ascenda Loyalty - https://big-on.dev/-/weiyuan ===== Big O(n) Development - Website - ⁠https://big-on.dev⁠ - LinkedIn - ⁠https://big-on.dev/-/in⁠ - Facebook - ⁠https://big-on.dev/-/fb⁠ - Youtube - ⁠https://big-on.dev/-/yt⁠ - Email - weiyuan@big-on.dev ===== Intro Music Credits: - "Pleasant Porridge" Kevin MacLeod (⁠incompetech.com⁠) - Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License - ⁠http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

The Engineering Dilemma - SimplyGo

SimplyGo! Those in Singapore would have heard about this huge migration to SimplyGo cards, where the older variant of EZ-link cards would be discontinued from the 1st of June 2024. As of 22nd June, the plan was halted and reversed, following public sentiment and feedback on this upgrade path (See https://www.lta.gov.sg/content/ltagov/en/newsroom/2024/1/news-releases/card-exchange-for-simplygo-ez-link-and-concession-cardholders.html) What went wrong? What could have gone better? We set out to chat about this very interesting topic! ===== Guest: Koo Ping Shung - Co-Founder, DataScience SG - Co-founder/Practicum Director, Data Science Rex Pte.
