ABOUT ME

Engineering Intelligence. Crafting Future-Ready Solutions.

I began my journey in tech during the MCO (Movement Control Order) 2019 in Malaysia, where I self-taught programming out of curiosity. I started with online courses, exploring mobile app development and AI and quickly became fascinated by how technology could solve real-world problems.

Through continuous learning and hands-on projects, I expanded my skills in Flutter, AI integration and cloud-based solutions. This led me to build Ymage, an AI-powered image editor, and UMscout, a student companion app for Universiti Malaya, streamlining automated announcements, timetable syncing, and event management.

My background includes optimizing workflows and integrating AI to drive impactful solutions.
