The Story

The Innovation Unplugged session (January 2026) was a 2-hour hybrid event at Microsoft Innovation Hub Singapore attended by the ASEAN STU Leadership Team. I curated the full narrative and led core technical presentations covering platform architecture storytelling, live demos (Singtel, SMRT, Omni-RAG), and WhatsApp integration.

STU leadership praised it as 'one of the best two hours... quality of content and impact.'

Other thought leadership: Created the ASEAN AI Demo Video Series (Poddster Studio) covering Omni-RAG, Microsoft Agent Framework, and Customer Zero. Published the open-source Copilot Studio × Azure Avatar Integration repository (adopted by Agrobank, presented at Petronas Energy Asia Day with 4,000+ delegates). Hub 5-Min Demo submission ranked top 6 out of 76 globally.
