About

“Build things. Break things. Learn fast. Repeat.”

I'm a Technical Support Engineer with 4+ years at a precision custom machine builder in Penang. My work spans machine commissioning, FMEA, root cause analysis, and full lifecycle technical documentation — from in-house build through to onsite installation at EV and semiconductor production lines.

I don't just maintain systems — I improve them. I self-initiated a real-time machine downtime alert system, built an HMI monitoring dashboard for live floor visibility, and developed an AI Coworker platform that lets engineers query technical documents through a conversational interface — all without a software team behind me.

I believe the best engineers combine deep domain knowledge with the ability to build tools that make the whole team faster. That's the kind of engineer I'm becoming.
