What I'm looking for

I’m looking to continue leading cabin interior maintenance and modifications—ensuring EASA/QCAA compliance, improving serviceability and first-time fix performance, and partnering with MRO teams to optimize TAT and delivery schedules.

I’m a Licensed Aircraft Engineer with over 18 years of experience in aircraft maintenance, specifically Cabin Interior Maintenance. I’ve built a proven track record of enhancing aircraft Cabin Interior standards and safety through innovative engineering solutions while staying fully compliant with stringent aviation requirements.

At Malaysia Airlines, I executed comprehensive maintenance across B737 and B777-200LR fleets, led pre-service modification programs, and pioneered planned-versus-actual manhour tracking to improve workforce utilization. At Qatar Airways, I’ve delivered cabin interior maintenance and modification programs (including Q-Suite, economy reconfigurations, and Starlink connectivity) while sustaining a 98% seat and lavatory serviceability rate, improving first-time fix outcomes, and minimizing AOG through TAT-15 workflow optimization and First Article Inspections.
