About

The person behind the code

In my own words

I'm a Computer Science student at Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS, Malaysia. My focus is software engineering with a growing interest in AI and machine learning, specifically the parts that feel like actual engineering rather than magic.

I learn by building. Most of what I know came from a project that confused me first. I'm comfortable being the person in the room who doesn't know something yet.

“I'm comfortable being the person in the room who doesn't know something yet.”

Outside of code: I think a lot about design: why some interfaces feel inevitable and others feel fought-against. I also read and sleep too much.

Skills, honestly

PythonComfortable. OOP, scripting, and my first ML experiments.
C++Working knowledge. Structs, classes and the STL. Built a console parking system with it.
C#Working knowledge. Shipped a MonoGame game, fluent in OOP.
JavaScriptImproving fast. Solid in vanilla JS, now mostly writing it inside React.
TypeScriptEarly days. Used it across Path OS and still lean on the compiler a lot.
React / Next.jsEarly days. This site is React, Path OS runs on the Next.js App Router.
SupabaseWorking knowledge. Set up auth, tables and row-level security for Path OS.
SQL / MySQLSolid fundamentals. Schema design, normalisation, complex queries.
Machine LearningEarly days. Finished the Finlatics Data Science and ML program, building intuition through projects now.
GitDaily use. Branches and pull requests, and I taught an intro GitHub workshop for first-timers.
