About Me
I'm an AI engineer building intelligent systems that ship to real users - agentic AI, generative apps, full-stack products, and humanoid robotics. From robotics R&D and teleoperation pipelines to async-first AI products running in production, I take ideas end-to-end.
Now Shipping Lumen AI · scaling Gathiqo for Malaysian events.

Featured Projects
AI / Mobile
Lumen AI
An AI life companion app - mindfulness, habit streaks, financial tracking, and gratitude journaling. Native Swift on Firebase, with on-device intent detection feeding personalised nudges.
Marketplace
Gathiqo
A trust-first marketplace for Malaysian events - weddings, corporate dinners, kenduri, birthdays. Built around multi-racial nuance and local trust signals, with vendor onboarding, search, and review pipelines from day one.
Case studies
Conversational interview engine
Async-first conversational AI that scores candidates on confidence, interaction, and job qualification. Bilingual (EN/MS), shipped as a backend API, npm SDK, and drop-in widget - embedded by the client in days, not weeks.
Outcome: shipped as embeddable SDK + widget for production HR product.
Agentic RAG with dual memory
Perception → retrieval → reasoning → response → persistence agent loop. Chroma for semantic memory, SQLite for conversation context, OpenAI reasoning on top. Built to test how dual memory holds up under multi-turn task threads.
Outcome: reusable agent skeleton now powering two downstream prototypes.
WhatsApp AI buddy
A WhatsApp bot wired into GPT and DALL·E for conversational replies, image generation, and small automations - built with whatsapp-web.js + LangChain, deployed for a private friend group as a daily-driver assistant.
Outcome: in daily use across a private group, ~hundreds of messages/week.
Real-time client dashboard
A full-stack web platform for a private client featuring real-time data ingestion, custom dashboards, and a permissioned admin layer. Designed for ops teams that needed live visibility without spreadsheet gymnastics.
Outcome: replaced manual reporting flow for the client's ops team.
I build AI that ships to real users.
Demos are easy - shipping is the work.
Every project above runs in production, with real people on the other side.

What I run on
The tools I actually open every day - not a logo wall, a working setup.
Heavy reasoning & agent backbones.
Thinking out loud & long-context drafts.
Image & multimodal experiments.
Where the actual code happens.
Pipeline glue between APIs & agents.
Voice prototyping for agent UX.
Side ventures
Two small businesses I run alongside my engineering work.
Designing
FreelanceLogos, business cards, brochures, social ads, and custom design jobs - for friends, family businesses, and the occasional brand refresh.
- Logo & brand identity
- Print & social media
- Custom one-off jobs
EZ Event
Event opsEvent & concert management with crew, ushering, and on-the-ground production. Live, paid jobs - not a brochure.
