🇹🇼 Taiwan, you were incredible!
Just wrapped up my first international speaker session at AWS Community Day Taiwan on ‘Scaling RAG on AWS: Building AI Apps’
The perfect way to kick off turning 22 (though I’m still in denial that I’m not 21 anymore😭)
Huge thanks to Franky Chen for making this happen and to the entire AWS Taiwan team for the warm welcome.
I’ve been part of and helped organize many tech events, but I’ve never seen one run this smoothly- massive respect to every organizer and volunteer (sorry I can’t tag you all!).
🙂↕️Special shout-outs for all the love and conversations:
Shu-Mei (Amy) Lee • Danny Chan • Kuan-Hao Huang • Yu Chen Lai • OO KANG ZHENG • Sky Chen
(and everyone else I couldn’t tag ).
Taiwan gave me more than just tech takeaways; there are stories and non-tech learnings I’ll share soon.
For now… ✈️ heading to Bangkok for the next chapter.

Big thanks to Pranav Metil , Rushi Balapure, Kaushik Aduri , and Sanika Kotgire for the last-minute presentation help.
Love you Taiwan, will definitely be back! VERY SOON
