What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead technology initiatives that strengthen security, resilience, and operational efficiency, while aligning infrastructure, cloud, and cybersecurity investments with business goals.

At AEON Credit Service (M) Berhad, I lead end-to-end IT project delivery, translating business needs into scalable solutions while managing scope, budgets, risks, adoption, and measurable operational improvements.

Previously at The Archipelago Group, I led IT strategy, infrastructure, cybersecurity, vendor management, disaster recovery, and the migration from Google Workspace to Microsoft 365. I bring hands-on experience across Microsoft 365, Entra ID, cloud services, networking, and security tools to help organizations operate securely and confidently.
