The bank has said it openly
DBS is phasing out about 4,000 contract and temporary roles over three years as AI takes on work previously done by humans.
A code-first agentic engineering masterclass taught by an engineer who has already hit every wall, so you do not have to.
Three days of agentic engineering, spec-driven delivery, and hardening on a real codebase, taught by an engineer who builds AI systems from scratch for public sector agencies and global enterprises.
“He holds the sole-inventor patent for LLM agent systems, granted in 2023, and has spent close to two decades delivering technical training. He has hand-built AI systems for classified environments where the public internet does not exist. In this masterclass, he shares the architecture, his working methods, and the deployment blueprints drawn from completed projects, compressed into 3 days of intensive, hands-on learning.”Prebook the Developer Masterclass

The Real Problem
Courses re-teach school statistics and maths, then bury you in theory. Monday arrives and you still do not know where to begin.
Your agent works in the demo and falls apart in production. Without harness engineering, every fix breaks something else.
One company's framework dies the day you step away from it. Your skills should not.
GPT, Claude, Gemini, agents, MCP. You need a map, not more options.
Hundreds of courses, the same recycled content. The trainer sat through them too, and now teaches exactly the part they all skip.
Certificates confirm attendance. The concepts that matter live only in the trainer's head. Here, they live in yours.
Do these sound familiar? This is the fix.
The Trainer
The playbook behind every masterclass was bought with years of production attempts and hard failures. The count of the wall is the lesson, and it is the first thing he teaches.
More than a hundred students in Singapore completed this similar AI training this year. The format is proven with a live audience.
The sole-inventor patent for LLM agent systems, granted in 2023. The legal and logical foundation of modern agents.
18 years of compute on GPUs, back when the field was called HPC, long before AI became a marketing buzzword.
Teaching engineers has been the day job for more than twenty years. Training is the craft, not a side engagement.
25 years across AWS, Azure, GCP, and on-premises bare metal, including air-gapped environments few engineers ever see.
Small cohorts keep the help personal. Seats are running out fast.
Past students say the most valuable part is simple. You get to ask a human who has done a few things successfully before.
Why Now
DBS is phasing out about 4,000 contract and temporary roles over three years as AI takes on work previously done by humans.
About 4 in 10 of those affected by the GovTech cuts were officers in their 40s.
75 per cent of all new code at Google is now AI-generated, reviewed and approved by engineers.
40 per cent of the workforce will need reskilling within three years because of AI.
AI now helps read CT scans, yet imaging demand grew even faster and radiologist vacancies stayed high. When AI makes something cheaper, the world orders more of it.
Klarna let an AI assistant do the work of 700 service agents, then rehired people when quality slipped. The winners are the humans who can direct the AI.
None of these companies failed. They restructured, and loyalty no longer shields anyone. PwC’s 2026 jobs barometer finds roles professionalised by AI growing twice as fast as the rest. Be the one directing the machines, not the one replaced by them.
The Curriculum
| Day | Morning | Afternoon | Focus |
|---|---|---|---|
| Day 1 | The morning covers the state of agentic coding, from casual coding to production-grade agent engineering, then context engineering and why your maturity decides what AI amplifies. We close with the anatomy of MCP, covering tool manifests, credential scoping, and plan versus execution modes. | You bring AGENTS.md, tools, skills, slash commands, and hooks together into one reliable agentic workflow. The composition uses ambient context, intent-triggered skills with clear trust boundaries, and automated guardrails. | Agentic Foundations |
| Day 2 | Spec-driven development with GitHub Spec Kit walks the full loop of specify, plan, tasks, implement, and converge. The specification, not the prompt, drives the code. | Superpowers in practice adds composable skills and subagent-driven development, and harness engineering hands-on adds sensors, hooks, and CI gates. You build your own harness system on your own project and show it. | Specs & Harness |
| Day 3 | AI evals with LLM-as-judge shows you how to benchmark prompts at scale and define what accurate output means. AI security follows with prompt injection, supply chain risks, zero trust boundaries, and sandboxing. | Agent orchestrator patterns coordinate planner, coder, and reviewer agents through multi-agent workflows. The Future of AI closes the masterclass on agentic engineering as a design discipline, and on taste, orchestration, and guidance. | Hardening & Beyond |
Each day comprises approximately 25% guided sessions, 60% hands-on labs on a real task, and 15% structured reflection. The table above is an example. Actual content includes more practical material than described, may differ slightly as it tracks the latest industry trends, and is refreshed right up to each cohort. The exact setup guide will be shared one week before Day 1.

The Outcomes
A framework for deciding which harness mechanism fits any codebase and concern, so design becomes a choice, not a guess.
Run the full Spec Kit loop with guardrails at every step and agents that follow the specification.
A harness built by you across a real codebase, ready to keep running after the course.
Patterns for coordinating planner, coder, and reviewer agents so multi-agent work stays on plan.
Design trustworthy MCP tool manifests and wire skills and hooks into a workflow your team relies on.
Benchmark prompts at scale, then defend against injection and supply chain risks with zero trust boundaries.
Walk out with systems that run on Monday morning, not certificates that sit in a drawer.
Masterclass Menu
The Foundation Course is the shared entry, running every weekend. Each masterclass below runs as a 3-day weekday specialist course, in a Standard open cohort or a Custom private cohort for your organisation.

You bring the domain expertise. We bring the engineering discipline. The developer cohort is where it all begins.
Prebook
Prebooking is free and takes two minutes. You get 48-hour priority access to the next cohort of 10 to 25 each, and we confirm dates, venue, and your invoice before any payment. Built for engineers who ship code, not slide decks.
This is not only about confidence with AI. It shapes your job, your career, your team, your projects, and the example your children grow up with. Choose the building side while the choice is still yours.
