I thrive on a collaborative work space, enjoy managing complex project that require solving complex problems with creativity, logic, and a refusal to accept “that’s just how we’ve always done it.” Whether optimizing processes, improving quality systems, or tackling engineering challenges, I enjoy finding unique solutions and collaborating with diverse teams to bring them to life. After all, great solutions don’t just fix problems—they make things better for everyone (and should be a little fun too!)
As a professional, my mission is to lead by example, inspire followership, and mentor others while driving excellence in project management, quality control/assurance, and industrial (lean) engineering. Through innovation, collaboration, and strategic problem-solving, I strive to improve processes, empower individuals, and foster a thriving team environment. My ultimate goal is to be a people-first leader who cultivates growth, champions teamwork, and make a lasting positive impact.
What sets me apart is my adaptability, resilience, and deep appreciation for people from all walks of life. As someone of dual Malaysian-Indonesian heritage who has lived, abroad in the United States, I understand the challenges of being a ‘fish out of water.’ This experience has shaped me into an independent thinker who can navigate diverse environments with confidence and ease.
Beyond my technical expertise, I take pride in being a kind, patient, and respectful individual. I believe that true leadership is not just about driving results but also about uplifting others with kindness, empathy, and integrity. I strive to be a gentleman in every sense—treating others with the same respect and generosity that I hope to receive.
With grit, courage, and determination, I continuously challenge myself and those around me to aspire for more, to break barriers, and to achieve excellence—not just in our work, but in how we treat and inspire each other.
Born and raised in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, I moved to the U.S. to pursue my education, where I learned resilience while navigating a new culture. Now, I live in Iowa City with my two pets, Timber the cat and Nikko the dog, who bring balance and joy to my life.
At my core, I value compassion, and I've cultivated strong, meaningful friendships that I nurture with care and patience. My active lifestyle includes rock climbing, soccer, swimming, volleyball, and badminton, along with enjoying trivia nights and chess games with friends.
Courage, altruism, and integrity guide both my personal and professional life. I embrace challenges, seek personal growth, and believe in giving back. As the eldest in my family, I take pride in supporting my parents and siblings. Integrity is essential to me, and I strive to always act with honesty and strong moral principles. These values shape who I am and the relationships I build.
