1) Data Structures for Text Editors — Beyond Arrays of Arrays
Ever been curious about what data structures you could use for text editors? Are you still using an array of arrays? Find out what kind of data structures are out there.
Speakers Profile 🎙
Eldon Chung is a CS2040S Lecturer who builds programs as an excuse to implement data structures. He has proven data structure impossibility results as part of his PhD.
2) Building a Trading System from Scratch (By Virtu)
What is a trading system? How does it work? What are the problems that a dev in HFT would face? Hans frames this as "How do I start my own HFT?", covering infrastructure, networking, latencies, and the day to day dev work.
Speakers Profile 🎙
Hans Phua is a Senior Strategy Software Engineer at Virtu Financial since 2018. He has worked on everything from monitoring tools to setting up a brand new trading desk from scratch.

Hackerschool Week 13: Build Your Own Coding Agent
🗓 Tuesday, 14 April 6:30-8:30 pm
📍 SR13 @ COM3-01-22
🧁 Refreshments will be served!
Writing code is great, but building something that writes code for you is a step above. AI Coding Agents are the next big thing in software engineering, moving beyond simple chat boxes to autonomous systems that can navigate repositories, fix bugs, and implement features on their own.
In this workshop we will dive into the core mechanics of agentic AI: planning, tool-calling and feedback loops. You’ll learn how to "hook up" an LLM to a file system and a terminal, creating a functional agent that can actually execute tasks within a codebase.
Before the session, make sure you have the followng set up!
- Install git
- Install uv
- Install Python 3.14.2 through uv
- Get an api key from Groq and Exa

1) Thinking Fast and Slow with AI Agents
Kahneman's two systems — fast intuition and slow verification — map directly onto how AI coding agents work and fail. Binh will cover lessons learned from working with agents, his approach to strengthen both systems, and why good judgment has become even more important.
Speakers Profile 🎙
By Binh, a software engineer at Momos, a Series A startup building customer platforms and AI agents for brands.
2) Everything I Hate About Computer Vision (And Why I'm Still Doing It)
Computer vision often breaks in the real world, but every failed edge case is a roadmap to a more robust system. Anand will share how they turn the technical challenges of production into reliable safety solutions at Invigilo.
