What I'm looking for

I’m open to freelance projects, agency collaborations, and content or copywriting work.

I co-authored a personal finance book after my ongoing writing and content work in the financial industry led to an invitation from Afyan Mat Rawi. It was published in May 2025 and launched at Pesta Buku Antarabangsa Kuala Lumpur.

Since 2015, I’ve translated and subtitled English-language films, series, documentaries, and corporate videos into Malay, and reviewed subtitle files for quality. My work also includes financial writing, transcreation, and social media content in English and Malay.

The writing process was smooth thanks to my existing materials and experience, though the publishing journey took some time.

The publishing house's team, PTS Publications, was very easy to work
