CMS1000 Guest Talk – Software Engineering and Applications

I was honor to invite Ir Matthew Tsui (Founder of App2One Limited) to give a talk for the 1^st year students in the course CMS1000 - Computer and Mathematical Sciences Professionals in Society under Faculty of Computer and Mathematical Sciences (FCMS) on 8^th Sep 2026. The objectives of CMS1000 are to introduce students to variety of professions, enthuse students about their major study and engage students in desirable forms of university learning. It is the 1^st lecture that my guest’s named “Software Engineering and Applications”. 

In the beginning, Ir Matthew Tsui gave self-introduction about his different roles including engineer, teacher and entrepreneur.

Then he introduced different concepts on development, engineering, programming as well as product team, etc.

After that he briefed the Waterfall vs Agile, Secure Software Development Life Cycle (SSDLC) and Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI).

Finally, he discussed the AI revolution and concluded “One hero is development. A team is engineering.”, “One person cannot win a hourse.”, and “Idea. Objective. Value.”

The last part was presented by his company’s intern Ms. Faria. She introduced her product named “TelePotter” which is an immersive VR learning application. 

She pointed out the pain point of teachers such as passive 2D learning, VR takes forever to build and Non-tech teachers locked out. Finally, she proposed a solution for any teacher and anywhere using AI that upload what your already have and AI builds the world fast, so that students explore by doing. She analyzed that product should win the other competitors. 

Finally, Dr. Ryo Liao, Dr. Adam Leung and I represented FCMS to present certificate and souvenir to guest speakers.
