Hello, I'm
8+ years driving innovation in Data & AI across Cloud, Generative AI, Big Data & Blockchain — currently based in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
Background, expertise & what drives me
I am a Data & AI Architect at Cognizant with 8+ years of experience designing, developing, and deploying large-scale intelligent applications across diverse industries. My work sits at the intersection of Generative AI, Cloud architecture, and Big Data engineering.
I hold a PhD in Informatics from Malaysia University of Science & Technology, an MS in Business Intelligence & Analytics from University Technology Malaysia (UTM), and a BS in Computer Engineering from Sir Syed University of Science and Technology. I am also the holder of 10+ international certifications spanning Microsoft Azure, AWS, and Blockchain, along with 100+ MOOCs, Nanodegrees, and technical trainings.
My specialisations include Large Language Models (LLMs), Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG), Agentic AI, Azure OpenAI, LangChain, Databricks, Apache Spark, and cloud platforms — Microsoft Azure, AWS, and GCP. Outside of work, I enjoy reading, exploring emerging technologies, and playing strategic games.
