About

My journey of building and shipping technology products has taken me through design, product, technology, and business. I've built startups, launched products, led teams, and learned just as much from the businesses that didn't work as the ones that did.

I started in email marketing before moving into design, coding, and UX. Over time, I moved into product management, project delivery, and business leadership. Those experiences taught me that good products come from understanding the people who use them.

As CTO, I helped build and launch an online vehicle marketplace, guiding it through central bank approval before its successful acquisition.

I've also built a state government digital payment platform, led technology and operations in public transportation, and worked across marketing, customer service, and business growth. Along the way, I've built startups, freelanced, and participated in hackathons. My work has taken me across Southeast Asia and back to Borneo, where I'm from. Not every venture succeeded, but every one taught me something valuable.

Today, I run a compliance and cybersecurity company based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.

I'm now focused on advisory, board, and CEO roles. I don't consider myself an expert with all the answers, but I enjoy working alongside founders and leadership teams to brainstorm ideas, solve problems, and find practical ways to help businesses grow, make better decisions, and build products that people actually want to use within my industry.
