How I got here?
My story as a developer began back in 2016, when I joined the robotics club back in high school. That was the first ever time I was able to turn a few lines of blocks into actual output, tangible by hand.
After graduating from high school, I furthered studies in Computer Sciences for my pre-university program and continued the trend at Universiti Sains Malaysia (USM).
At USM, I joined the Google Developer Groups on Campus (aka. Google Developer Student Clubs back then), it was my first time getting in touch with developer communities and it was so vibrant and full of positivity and energy. Eventually I moved on to become a GDG George Town Co-Lead today.
I was also fortunate enough to join CodeTrace as a Software Engineer Intern where I really had an insight into how factories and manufacturing lines leverages AI in scanning barcodes and machine vision.
All these opportunities has allowed to learn from various industry professionals and made valuable connections. And I’m currently applying all my knowledge and expertise to help an academy that teaches students about robotics (What a round of events!). And guess what? I love what I’m doing!
