Being part of the Microsoft Innovation Hub tour in North Sydney with MVPs & RDs tonight was an incredible and inspiring experience! 💡 This hub is a dynamic space showcasing game-changing AI and technology in action.

The presentation on agentic AI were truly fascinating. 🤖 My inner tech geek especially liked the deep dives into SemanticKernel, AutoGen, Magentic-One, and AzureAIFoundry. The demo on medical research using GraphRAG 🔍 is a brilliant example of AI driving real-world impact!

The InnovationHub tour was also eye-opening, featuring innovations across industries: 🏥 Smart hospital bed that monitors patient vitals, enhanced with HoloLens-powered medical visualizations for teaching 🛍️ AI-driven retail solutions tracking stock levels and providing staff with instant insights 📚 Personalized learning AI app designed to help students focus and tailor their education 👀 Accessibility tool using eye-tracking to control computer actions

The future of AI is exciting, transformative, and full of endless possibilities! 🚀 Can't wait to see how these innovations shape the world! ✨

Be a volunteer at FIRSTRobotics Competition's Southern Cross Regional like me in March 2025, together we will bring this epic event to life! 🤖 If you think robots and AI might take over the world, this might just be ground zero! ⚡

Thank you Will & Daniela for organizing and running the awesome events for us!

Catching-up with Tony and Jason (Chuantao), ex-MVPs, over sizzling Korean BBQ 🔥🥩 in Chinatown! We talked tech, passion, life, and of course, their legendary MVPSummit moments at Microsoft Redmond campus.

Now, it's time for me to apply leave from family responsibilities. 🤣 MVP Summit (March 25th to 27th), hope I will be there this year for the first time.

No longer qualified as an 'engineer' after my first FTC , guess I'll have to stick with 'Software Engineer' from now on. 😅

Volunteering at the FTC Nationals today Macquarie University was both inspiring and humbling. I walked in feeling confident in my skills and walked out realizing the FTC teams operate on an entirely different level. 🧠💻

My job today? Keeping the two practice fields in order. 🏟️ And hey, looks like I did an okay job at that! ✅ Meanwhile, the FTC teams were out there pushing the boundaries of what I thought was possible. Watching them work was like seeing a masterclass in precision, creativity, and pure technical brilliance.

A huge congratulations to the winning teams! 🏆 And a big shoutout to all the volunteers who made the day run smoothly - it's not just a competition; it's a community effort. Special kudos to Will & Daniela for their amazing work! 👏

4am wakeup and 7am flight - totally worth it for an wonderful day at DDD Brisbane last Saturday! I'm so flattered and grateful that so many people joined me for my talk about LEGO AI and FLL.

Thank you for agreeing that I earned the cape in the end! 🦸‍♂️ Appreciate the interest and great chats afterward, Andrei and Gerald.

The only downside? Wishing I could clone myself to attend every talk! Huge shoutout to Joel (I did not tag you on social), Michelle (it is not luck but hard work from the girls!), Jason (C# & .Net will always be my favorite), Bryden & Luke (cool hats & photos!), Julian (I wrote RSA at uni as assignments) for your insightful talks - I walked away with new ideas and inspiration!

And of course, it was so lovely to catch up with new & old friends like Fabrizio, and Insight teammates. DDD events are as much about the community as they are about the content. To top it all off, look what I found at the airport on my way back to Sydney: a life-sized LEGO Captain! (last photo)

Thanks again, DDD Brisbane (especially Chris & Bronwen), for such a rewarding and enriching experience.

Will DDD Sydney come back one day? I will definitely sign up for volunteering!

🌟 Incredible day at She Codes Australia Sydney workshop yesterday at Microsoft Reactor! A huge shout-out to Kate and her team for putting together this amazing event, bringing so many women into the world of tech. 💻

The day was filled with inspiration, especially the powerful stories shared by the guest speakers: Catia and Laura. Catia started her journey with a teacher degree, took a gap year traveling to 50+ countries, speaks four languages, and now manages major clients around the world at Insight 🌏. Laura began with a vet degree, pursued her passion for math and statistics, and has now grown into a Data Science and AI Area Lead at Commonwealth Bank.

The energy in the room was electric, with two rooms filled with passionate participants and mentors, all working together to inspire and empower.✨

It was my first time mentoring at SheCodes, seeing so much talent, collaboration, and enthusiasm was truly inspiring! Lovely to see Catia, Ollie, Angela, Nilesh, Lisa, Athena in the room.

Looking forward to the next event and continuing to support women on their tech journey! 🚀
