What I'm looking for

I’m looking to apply econometric modeling and quantitative research to business and finance decisions—while leveraging my procurement and supply chain background to deliver measurable cost and performance improvements in a collaborative, data-driven team.

I’m an analytical, results-driven Business & Finance professional with a Master of Economics from UKM, backed by 2 years of international corporate experience as a Purchasing Manager in Dubai.

My focus is turning complex data into decisions—using econometric modeling, financial forecasting, and quantitative research to support asset analysis and asset hedging strategies.

In procurement, I managed procurement cycles, improved cost efficiency by optimizing purchasing schedules, and worked closely with cross-functional teams, suppliers, and delivery timelines to protect quality standards and reduce expired inventory risk.
