What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build AI-native products where I can own discovery, PRDs, prototyping, data analysis, and launches, especially products using RAG, agents, OCR, and responsible LLM workflows.

I've built and launched AI-native products at Pandai Education, an EdTech platform serving 2M+ students and 110,000 teachers across 10,000+ Malaysian schools. I own the AI roadmap for Pandai Teacher across three engineering squads and have delivered seven launches in 11 months.

I’ve shipped RAG-grounded question generation, an agentic teacher assistant, OCR exam-paper ingestion, handwritten-script marking, and a risk-scoring model with an AI quota paywall. These products drove measurable adoption, including 53% of assessment quizzes generated by AI, 29% teacher-assistant adoption within two months, and 12% premium conversion among paying teachers.

Before becoming Product Manager, I launched 13 generative AI tools for educators, built the Pandai Tutor Dashboard, and led a learning-platform UX revamp that grew monthly active users 75% to 35,000 in 4.5 months. I write the PRD, prototype the solution, query production data, and take products through launch.

I also built AfterPayday, a local-first consumer finance PWA that helps people understand how much they can safely spend each day, with installment-debt modelling, offline conflict resolution, and on-device receipt capture.
