Professional Experience
AI Researcher and Engineer
June 2025 - Present
Axe Innovation SDN BHD, Selangor, Malaysia
- Spearheaded development of a multi-agent AI system for internal operations, orchestrating autonomous agents for documentation parsing, resume scoring, project task routing, and lead qualification, cutting cross-team operational overhead by ~35%.
- Architected a modular agentic framework (LangChain/LLM + rule-based logic) enabling non-technical staff to trigger complex workflows via natural language, accelerating task completion by 3x for HR and Ops teams.
- Cross-collaborated with partner companies to develop a deepfake detection pipeline (CNN + Vision Transformer + audio spectral analysis), deployed as an API for compliance checks—flagging 98% of synthetic media in internal security audits.
- Built an AI equity research assistant that maps news entities to company profiles, extracts sentiment/relationship signals, and generates structured investment briefs—adopted by finance team for weekly market reviews.
- Designed a hybrid forecasting model (Temporal Fusion Transformer + FinBERT sentiment + macro indicators) for short-term stock movement prediction, outperforming baseline ARIMA models by 22% in directional accuracy.
- Integrated all AI services into a secure, role-based internal platform with audit logging and feedback loops, enabling continuous model improvement and enterprise-wide adoption across 4 departments.
AI Engineer (Freelance)
February 2026 - March 2026
Vectolabs Technologies SDN BHD, Malaysia
- Fine-tuned state-of-the-art object detection models for real-time pedestrian and vehicle classification, achieving >90% mAP across diverse lighting, weather, and occlusion scenarios.
- Engineered an OpenVINO-optimized inference pipeline using dynamic quantization and graph fusion, reducing model footprint by ~40% while accelerating CPU/edge inference latency by 3x.
- Delivered production-ready AI modules integrated into real-time monitoring systems, lowering false positives by ~10% and ensuring seamless scalability for industrial deployment.
AI Engineer
June 2024 - May 2025
SNS Network, Perakl, Malaysia
- Developed an AI-powered e-commerce chatbot using a RAG pipeline, integrating a PHP frontend, Java backend, Python/FastAPI AI service, and SQL database.
- Engineered the retrieval pipeline to dynamically query product catalogs, order history, and support policies, improving answer accuracy and reducing LLM hallucinations.
- Built Java middleware to enrich user queries with real-time context (cart status, account tier) and securely manage conversation logs in a relational SQL database. Optimized FastAPI endpoints for low-latency vector search and LLM inference, implementing caching, async processing, and rate limiting for high-traffic scalability.
- Automated ~85% of Tier-1 customer inquiries, cutting average response time from minutes to seconds and significantly reducing support ticket volume.
