What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead R&D or digital transformation initiatives where I can build low-code automation, deploy AI agents, and deliver audit-ready workflows—while managing cross-functional teams to remove manual bottlenecks and strengthen data integrity.

I’m an R&D Manager and Digital Transformation Leader with over a decade of experience turning manual corporate workflows into modern digital systems. I specialize in building low-code solutions, managing enterprise document security, and deploying conversational AI agents—work I’ve used to eliminate administrative bottlenecks and strengthen data integrity.

At Daikin Refrigeration Malaysia, I serve as a Microsoft 365 Copilot subject matter expert, designed and maintain custom onboarding AI agents in Copilot Studio, and act as primary SharePoint Owner for the R&D department. I also lead the long-term automation shift with Power Automate and have pioneered the company’s successful conversion from manual hardcopy document approval to 100% automated digital workflows—while aligning engineering processes to ISO 9001, 45001, and 14001 requirements.
