1. Rewriting Services in Rust @ TikTok by Wu Xiaoyun
When a high-traffic payment service hit CPU limits, we took a surgical approach: rewrite only the CPU‑bound endpoints in Rust while keeping the rest in Go. This talk is a practical lesson on when and how to apply Rust in polyglot systems.
Wu Xiaoyun is an NUS student who writes about systems engineering, performance optimization, and tooling. He enjoys sharing practical, data‑driven approaches to real production problems.
2. The Hidden Power Behind APIs by Sigurd Nordbye
While everyone talks about AI and quantum, the quiet backbone of real-world systems is open-source APIs. In this talk, walk through a mobile app from Kongsberg Group controlling an autonomous vessel, built on open-source APIs.
Sigurd Nordbye is a Computer Science student from the University of Oslo, spending a semester at NUS. He is passionate about app building and mapping technology.

1) Keeping Code Fresh: 20 Years of Lizard and Counting
Lizard, a popular open source code static analyser, began as a weekend hack in 2005 and still ships new features today. I’ll unpack the engineering practices—ruthless simplification, full coverage with small tests, fast feedback loops, and dog-fooding our own complexity metrics—that have kept the codebase lean, flexible, and fun despite two decades of language churn and contributor turnover. Expect also lessons you can apply to modern AI-assisted development.
Speakers Profile🎙
Terry Yin is an Adaptive Coach of Odd-e team. Terry has been working at Nokia for 10 years mostly in R&D management and Agile transformation before joining Odd-e. He's coached Large Scale Scrum and software development technical practices in a large variety of software companies. He's also the developer of the https://less.works web site.

2) Notional Machines for Modern Scripting Languages
Introductory CS courses often use scripting languages such as Python. A notional machine is a predictive set of abstractions designed for teaching computational processes. In his courses, he developed the CSE machine as a notional machine for scripting languages.
In this talk, he augments the resulting core machine step-by-step to explain a scripting language and demonstrates how it can accommodate a range of advanced features. The talk uses examples from NUS courses to illustrates how this approach works in practice.
