What the work actually was.
Across industries, I keep coming back to the same things: building well, helping others learn, and staying curious.
AI Engineer
An established local company
ITGroup HQ · 
Malaysia
I am part of the company's pioneering AI team.
Solution Analyst
Avnet Malaysia
SemiconductorGroup HQ · 
Tempe, United States
I was part of the AI team within Central Data & Business Analytics (CDBA). I built pro-code AI automations for business teams, but the work did not stop at shipping software. I also helped CDBA developers work toward faster, better development through internal workshops and training. I loved both sides of the role: building things and helping other builders grow.
I looked forward to going to work every day.
System Tester
Hilti Asia IT Services
ConstructionGroup HQ · 
Schaan, Liechtenstein
I took this part-time role while I was at university because I wanted industry exposure. It was not about the pay. My scope was deliberately focused on black-box testing: testing mobile and web applications from the outside and paying close attention to what the product actually did.
Teaching Assistant
Universiti Sains Malaysia · School of Computer Sciences
Higher EducationMain campus · Penang, Malaysia
Teaching had been part of my life long before university; I started taking on part-time education work when I was young. As a part-time TA, I tutored second-year computer science students in software engineering. I love designing curriculum and learning activities. I wanted them to enjoy learning, and I hoped the experience might inspire them. The notes they wrote to me have stayed with me.
