Career Journey

Fifteen years across employment and running my own thing, in both directions more than once. The full record, for anyone who wants to check it — the work itself is under Selected Work.

  1. Vuly Play Malaysia Sdn Bhd

    Senior Web Developer

    Employment

    Maintained a live e-commerce platform and redesigned its AI assistant request path from synchronous handling onto queue workers. The architectural change was delivered and merged — in production, AI is an architecture discipline as much as a model one.

  2. Independent AI Engineering Projects

    Independent AI Solutions Engineer

    Independent

    Six deliberate months full time on frontier AI — three feasibility assessments in unrelated domains, two of which I advised against on capital cost.

  3. Sweetmag Solutions (M) Sdn Bhd

    Lead Developer

    Employment

    Seven months, four client engagements — a feasibility study stopped on cost, a price-monitoring MVP, months in a Java codebase outside my usual stack, and the one that went live, where the work became the API contract everyone else built against.

  4. · Singapore · remote

    Acceler8 AI Pte Ltd

    Freelance Software Developer

    Contract

    Three months contracted to a Singapore startup, remote — a campaign management dashboard and its reporting, scoped down to what one developer could actually deliver in the time and the infrastructure available.

  5. COSCO Shipping Lines (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd

    Senior Business Process Specialist

    Employment

    A year inside a global shipping operation, building document automation into systems with no API — and the human review queue, not the model, is what made it deployable.

  6. Frenbase Sdn Bhd

    Solutions Architect · Technical Operations Lead

    Own venture

    A year running my own e-commerce venture — bought the commerce engine rather than building one, and closed the company while there was still money in the account.

  7. Innity Sdn Bhd

    Senior Software Engineer

    Employment

    Returned at a senior grade to migrate the same platform onto a new API surface — batching telemetry out of band, moving reports onto workers.

  8. Kamfu Enterprise

    Solution Architect / Full-Stack Software Engineer

    Own venture

    Two years running my own company — sold, scoped and built 15+ automation pipelines for SMEs who needed a price list watched, not a platform built.

  9. Innity Sdn Bhd

    Software Engineer

    Employment

    Nearly six years deep in one ad platform — four as its sole front-end engineer rebuilding the operator surfaces, then a year and a half building its self-serve marketplace.
