About me
Building the future,
one model at a time.
I'm a Computer Science student at Swinburne University of Technology in Sarawak, Malaysia, majoring in Artificial Intelligence. I genuinely enjoy building things that work in the real world, not just in theory.
Right now I am working on an OCR pipeline powered by the Gemini API to automate invoice processing for a local trading company. I also helped overhaul their network infrastructure from the ground up. Watching something I built go from idea to production is still the best feeling.
I am most interested in LLMs, computer vision, and systems that turn messy real world data into something actually useful. If that sounds like something you are working on, I would love to hear about it.
Currently open to AI engineering internships and collaborative research projects.
