About

I build at the intersection of product, engineering, and customer experience. My journey started in Kuala Lumpur with AmGeneral Insurance, where I worked as a Technical Coordinator driving business analysis, production support, and GST automation using RPA. At Synup, I became the go-to technical support engineer, helping teams resolve complex customer issues and closing 40% of support tickets single-handedly in one quarter — earning the Tech Star recognition. At Cashfree Payments, I spent nearly 4 years as a Senior Integration Engineer, working with enterprise merchants like Meesho, Adani, Muthoot, and Games24x7. I helped merchants successfully integrate payment solutions through APIs, SDKs, webhooks, and plugins while troubleshooting real-time production issues using Kibana, DataDog, AWS, and Postman. I was also recognised with the GEM Award twice. Over the years, I learned that great engineering is not only about writing code. It is about understanding systems end-to-end, solving customer problems, and turning complex challenges into simple solutions. That mindset led me to build my own products using AI. I built LinkToLost — a community-driven lost & found platform using Next.js, Node.js, and MySQL. I also built WanderGoo — a travel platform connecting independent hosts and travellers, including payments, booking flows, and onboarding journeys. Along the way, I explored AI and automation by building AI-powered experiences, automation workflows, and Alexa skills published across multiple countries. Today, I focus on building scalable SaaS solutions, AI automation, and customer-centric technology that bridges the gap between users and engineering teams.
