About

A builder at the intersection of AI and production engineering.

I'm a full-stack software engineer with a deep focus on bringing Large Language Models from experimental prototypes into live, user-facing systems. My work spans the entire stack — from architecting RAG pipelines that ground LLM responses in real business data, to deploying high-throughput inference endpoints that serve thousands of requests with predictable latency.

Most recently at CTC Global, I built the bridge between legacy PHP monoliths and a modern Python AI service layer, cutting inference latency by 40% with vLLM and building internal RAG chatbots that transformed how support teams access institutional knowledge. At MIMOS Berhad, I engineered an end-to-end proposal analysis tool with Weaviate and MinIO, automating workflows that previously consumed days of manual review.

Where I've worked.

CTC Global Sdn. Bhd.
AI / MLOps Engineer
Petaling Jaya
Nov 2025 — Present
  • Architected a bridge between legacy PHP / CodeIgniter systems and greenfield Python AI microservices, enabling incremental modernisation without disrupting business-critical operations.
  • Deployed vLLM inference endpoints, reducing average inference latency by 40% through careful model selection, batching, and hardware-aware configuration.
  • Built RAG-based chatbots that ingest internal knowledge bases and shorten support ticket resolution cycles noticeably.
  • Transitioned on-premise services into containerised environments with Docker, improving deployment consistency and velocity across staging and production.
  • Developed custom API wrappers in Python and Node.js to integrate with n8n and Dify workflow engines, connecting AI capabilities to daily business processes.
  • Researched emerging LLM trends and translated findings into actionable roadmaps for predictive modelling and automated document processing.
MIMOS Berhad
Software Engineer (Internship)
Bukit Jalil
Feb 2025 — Aug 2025
  • Engineered an end-to-end proposal analysis tool using Vue.js and Flask, powered by a RAG pipeline that retrieves relevant context from a Weaviate vector database and MinIO object store.
  • Automated vendor proposal analysis, intelligent RFQ generation, and conversational Q&A over proposal documents, replacing a predominantly manual review process.
  • Deployed inference endpoints with both vLLM and the Aphrodite engine to benchmark throughput and latency trade-offs across different model architectures.
  • Contributed to an IoT project by implementing an AWS Cognito authentication layer, and built a JWT validation decorator for securing Flask API routes.

Software Engineer (Freelancer)
Cyberjaya
Jan 2022 — Jun 2022
  • Developed and maintained features on a Laravel + Livewire stack, working closely with the client to iteratively shape the product.
  • Performed debugging, cross-browser testing, and code refinement based on client feedback and QA cycles.
Malakat
Software Engineer (Full-time)
Cyberjaya
May 2021 — Sep 2021
  • Diagnosed and resolved production issues in a POS system, ensuring consistent uptime for daily mall operations.
  • Developed a Flutter-based system that streamlined operational efficiency at Malakat Mall.
  • Contributed to UI/UX design decisions for a new POS interface and participated in structured code reviews.
Delyva
Software Engineer (Internship)
Petaling Jaya
Mar 2020 — Jun 2020
  • Conducted pre-rollout website testing and quality assurance to ensure release readiness.
  • Built automated test suites from API endpoints using Postman, integrating them into the QA pipeline.
  • Documented API testing methodologies and contributed to shared QA documentation practices.
