About Me

Graduate of MSc in Artificial Intelligence from Munster Technological University holding Stamp 1G visa. With a passion for fields concerning web development, software development, computer vision and machine learning, I am eager to utilize my skills for the good of any institution. Accomplished projects such as Augmented Reality assisted visual impairment aid for Master’s research as well as indoor map reconstruction and navigation during the course of university, and I am willing to harness those skills acquired from those projects. I am very eager to learn and will not shy away from any new challenges. Proficient in Python, OpenCV, YOLO object detection, Tensorflow, Keras, Scikit-Learn, numpy and matplotlib.

Accrued industrial experience in agile based online banking solutions development for both mobile and web platforms for Malaysia’s 2nd largest bank (CIMB bank) with demonstrated abilities in customer relationship skills.
