Head of Frontend Engineering

About

I craft digital experiences that bridge the gap between human intuition and technological possibility.

Based in Kuala Lumpur, I architect frontend solutions that don't just function—they resonate.

With a decade of transforming complex challenges into elegant interfaces, I try to build products that feel less like software and more like second nature.
