Where I've Worked
Experience
Software Engineer
Datanian Sdn. Bhd.
- Designed an event-driven data processing pipeline across 10+ Laravel job queues, handling high-frequency time-series ingestion across multiple domain modules with module-specific routing logic.
- Built a PHP↔Python interop layer using NDJSON stdin/stdout piping, offloading CPU-intensive calculations that exceeded PHP's memory constraints — eliminating recurring OOM crashes in production.
- Automated a data product generation pipeline, cutting manual processing effort by ~80%.
- Implemented demand-aware filtering and debouncing on real-time event listeners, reducing wasted job dispatches by ~80–90% during high-volume ingress spikes.
- Maintained a multi-database architecture (MongoDB for time-series, PostgreSQL for metadata and config) with cursor-based streaming to avoid memory exhaustion on large dataset queries.
- Took full ownership of features end-to-end with minimal supervision even during tight time constraints.
Continuous Development
Self-Directed Learning
- Exploring the MERN stack through personal project development (Affy).
- Learning Docker and cloud deployment fundamentals.
Industrial Trainee
Jabatan Perkhidmatan Komputer Negeri (JPKN) Sabah
- Developed frontend interfaces from Figma prototypes to production-ready code for web systems used by government agencies.
- Contributed to delivering a web application for a government ministry as part of a structured application development team.
- Worked within a formal software delivery process, gaining exposure to requirements handoff, team collaboration, and deployment workflows.

Project Kumaraja (Coming Soon)
A Personal Data Pipeline for the Sabah Tech Market. "Kumaraja" (derived from the Dusun word for "work") is an end-to-end data engineering and full-stack analytics pipeline serving as a personal BI tool to aggregate, clean, and analyze tech job listings for the Sabah region. It showcases full-pipeline mastery—from web scraping, strict dbt data quality testing, and robust cloud infrastructure, to a modern Laravel dashboard.
