Head of IT @ Free Malaysia Today — 19+ years building and operating business-critical platforms, hands-on.

  • Own platforms end to end — frontend → CMS → database → CDN → operations.
  • Lead teams while staying in the code: architecture, review, production debugging.
  • Direct AI-assisted delivery through requirements, verification and release gates.
  • Find the technical root cause behind a business symptom — and deliver the fix through staged cutovers and rollback paths.
