At MDEC Sdn Bhd, I delivered a national-level programme under NIMP 2030 that launched 12 industry-ready digital solutions, 20% above target. I coordinated work across MITI, SIRIM, and industry partners, and established governance frameworks for programme delivery.

As a freelance Product Owner / Project Manager / Front-End Developer, I conceptualised and launched Muslimind, a multi-platform Islamic quiz app covering Quran, Hadith, and Islamic knowledge across eight languages. I managed its product lifecycle, from feature definition and UX design through development, deployment, and iteration.

Earlier at MDEC Sdn Bhd, I led the migration of the corporate website from WordPress to React and revamped more than 100 microsites. Across roles in digital platforms, aviation, and logistics, I also developed reusable UI components and design systems. I’m CAPM-certified and hold an MBA in Project Management.
