FIRST Robotics Competition Southern Cross Regional today - my very first time volunteering at FRC! It's the second day of the REEFSCAPE season at Penrith Valley Regional Sports Centre, and I'm already in awe of the ⚡ energy, 🔧 innovation, and 🤝 teamwork on display.

FRC is the ultimate sport for the mind ✨, where 40+ high school student teams take on real-world engineering challenges, designing and building industrial-sized robots from a kit of parts to compete in an intense, fast-paced game. But beyond the robots, it's about creativity, problem-solving, and teamwork, all guided by the spirit of GraciousProfessionalism.

This year's challenge, REEFSCAPE 🌊, is all about using engineering to strengthen one of the ocean's most diverse habitats. It's inspiring to see young minds tackling big problems and shaping the future of STEM.

It was a great pleasure to reconnect with old friends (Garry & Jack), see familiar faces, and make new connections! Exciting to witness teams like 'AI3' showcasing their AI-powered robot, an incredible display of innovation! 🤩🤖

A huge congratulations to Melinda for the 'Woodie Flowers Finalist Award' and to Mark for being 'Volunteer of the Year'! The awards are the perfect recognition of your dedication and countless contributions over so many years. 👏🎉

It's been a long day from 7 AM to 6:30 PM ⏳, but I've gained a whole new appreciation for the impact of FIRST empowering students and fostering a strong STEM community. Excited for the final day of the competition tomorrow! 🚀

Let's build AI-powered apps with ease on Azure! 🚀✨

Lucky to get #1 🎖️ on Microsoft Azure Collectives Monthly Leaderboard on StackOverflow ! 🚀 And #3 overall weekly contributor last week! 🎉

I've been diving deep into answering questions, sharing knowledge, and - let's be honest - chasing bounties 💰 (SUPER FUN). Lucky enough to strike 3 BIG bounties in a row: AI Speech service, Python FunctionApp & webjob. And now I feel like a bounty hunter … just like Mandalorian 😎

If you're wondering how come my account is only 5 months old … Well, like many of us on the internet, I was taking but not giving. But that changes now. ✨

More than the rankings, I enjoyed the process of learning, problem-solving, and helping the community tackle real-world development challenges. A big shoutout to everyone contributing and making the dev community stronger every day! 🚀 'This is the way.' 🙌

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! ⚡

No experience? No problem! There's a role for everyone, and trust me - you'll find something you love. Lucky me, I got assigned to Field Reset role for my first time at the event ! 🚀 Can't wait to be in the middle of the action, helping teams compete at their best.

🔥 Curious? Check out the video from earlier season below, get involved, and join us! Let's make this an unforgettable experience for these incredible teams.

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! 👏
