Pharma Lab by Day.
Code Editor by Night.

A unique blend of scientific precision and creative problem-solving

I'm a Pharmaceutical Analyst at the National Pharmaceutical Regulatory Agency (NPRA) in Malaysia, where I ensure the safety of pharmaceutical products using instruments like HPLC, GC-MS, and ICP-MS.

But when the lab closes, I open my code editor. I'm a self-taught developer who has published 6+ Expert Advisors for MetaTrader, built an open-source AI trading system, and shipped production web applications — all without a CS degree.

Currently studying Harvard's CS50x and CS50 Cybersecurity to formalize my knowledge while continuing to ship code every single day. I prove that passion and persistence beat pedigree.

Scientific Foundation

Pharmaceutical analysis demands precision, documentation, and quality protocols — skills that translate directly to software engineering.

Builder Mentality

From trading bots to full-stack websites, I learn by building real products that solve real problems and serve real users.

Data-Driven Approach

Analytical skills from the lab and financial markets shape how I approach software — with metrics, testing, and evidence-based decisions.
