# Mohit Shrivastava — iamohit.com

> Hands-on technology leader for business-critical platforms, based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. AI-augmented delivery, data-backed operations and automation-heavy product engineering. 19+ years, 25+ documented projects, 7+ industries, clients in 5+ countries. Currently Head of IT at Free Malaysia Today; open to Head of Technology, VP Engineering and hands-on CTO roles (Kuala Lumpur or remote).

## Who he is

Mohit Shrivastava leads engineering while staying in the code: architecture, code review and production debugging. His signature pattern is walking into business-critical systems under pressure, finding the technical cause behind a business symptom, and fixing it without taking the business offline. He treats speed, reliability and cloud cost as one problem, and the infrastructure bill as an engineering metric.

His AI and data proof is production work: agent-directed delivery with verification gates, an autonomous LLM content engine, operational dashboards at Changi, a Chartbeat-to-MongoDB news pipeline, and event-driven WebSub automation.

## Headline outcomes (attributed)

- Free Malaysia Today (Nov 2023–present; Head of IT since Nov 2024, joined as Senior Developer): led the platform turnaround of a national news site serving 8.5M monthly active users and 22M+ annual readers — organic share grew 40% → 68%, Lifestyle page views rose 184%, page loads improved 4.2s → 1.3s, and the cloud bill fell ~75% (RM45–60K → RM12–15K/month, RM400K+/year). FMT closed 2025 at ~22% profit in an industry where 2–4% is a good year.
- CMS-Decoupled GraphQL Gateway (2025, FMT technical lead): a Node.js/TypeScript service reading MySQL replicas directly, bypassing WordPress/PHP on the read path — article reads ~700ms → under 10ms with zero frontend changes. Built and validated against production data.
- YouTube-native Video CMS (2025, FMT technical lead): treats YouTube as the database — 33K+ videos, 2M+ daily views, RM0/month run cost, avoiding a ~RM500K/year vendor path.
- Tassenger (2026, founder, solo): a "taskable chat" product — chat where tasks don't die. v3 rebuilt from scratch in ~20 days by directing AI coding agents under engineering verification gates. Native iOS and Android, both live in their stores (App Store + Google Play), plus a web console.
- Mastroify (2025–2026, founder, solo): an autonomous content engine combining LLM-directed writing, local speech, video rendering and native publishing APIs — 472+ videos over about seven weeks, 11 platforms, about $1/month.
- Enterprise delivery via Accenture (2021–2023, from Kuala Lumpur): Changi Airport operational visibility (Aircraft Flow 360°), Krungthai Bank's Paotang Pay national e-wallet (Thailand), and immersive launches for BMW, Nike, Netflix and Telekom Malaysia.
- Earlier: IRIS (identity/biometric systems, ~80% faster APIs), Kerry Logistics (legacy WMS re-architecture, 20× faster), Custommedia (7 years owning an IoT/M2M middleware platform).
