What I'm looking for

I am seeking roles in sustainability, operations, or process engineering where I can apply data-driven optimization, renewable energy experience, and cross-functional coordination to deliver measurable improvements.

I am a Chemical Engineering graduate with a strong focus on sustainability, operations, and data-driven process optimization. My academic and internship experience includes renewable energy exposure, environmental reporting, and hands-on project coordination across on-site and hybrid settings.

During industrial training at Samaiden Sdn. Bhd., I supported LSS5, CGPP, and rooftop solar projects, conducted environmental inspections across multiple states, and prepared PEIS/EIA documentation. I developed an ANN model in MATLAB for wastewater treatment dosing and completed PFD, P&ID, HAZOP, equipment sizing, and economic analysis for a hydrogen production FYDP.

I bring practical skills in Aspen HYSYS, AutoCAD, Visio, MATLAB, Python (JupyterLab), and Microsoft Office, combined with leadership experience in student organizations and event logistics. I am adaptable, dependable, and motivated to apply analytical and cross-functional coordination skills in sustainability and operations roles.
