Claude AI Day

Spent my Sunday 5th July morning catching up on the latest in AI at the Claude AI Day: Certified & Curious meetup at UOB Plaza, Kuala Lumpur! 🚀

It was a packed session diving deep into the Claude ecosystem, real-world implementations, and the roadmap for the Claude Certified Architect program. As a developer, keeping up with the rapid evolution of these AI technologies is essential for building smarter, production-ready applications.

A huge highlight of the morning was supporting my longtime friend, Ts. Tan Aik Keong (AK), CEO of Agmo Holdings Berhad. We’ve known each other since our Experian days (it’s been more than 10 years now, wow!), and it’s incredible to see him leading the charge for the AI community here in Malaysia to achieve an ambitious goal: 1000 Claude Certified Architects by end of 2026! 🇲🇾

I was also glad to catch up with Daren Tan, CEO of ALPHV Technologies and founder of Developer Kaki. A big congratulations to Daren for winning the lightning pitch session! His presentation on building genetic testing DNA health reports powered by GenAI was incredibly insightful, and I really appreciate him taking the time to share some of his tech insights with me afterward.

To top it all off, I managed to score 2nd place in the “How well do you know Claude?” Kahoot trivia challenge—missing the top spot by a mere 393 points! 🥈 Too bad there was only one prize for the winner. I’ll get you next time, Kegan! 😆

Great insights, great networking, and a fantastic reminder of how vibrant our local tech ecosystem is becoming. Tech moves fast, but the goal remains simple: never stop learning, never stop doing. 💡
