About Me

I am a Linux and Cloud Engineer based in Sepang, Selangor, Malaysia, holding a Diploma in Networking Systems (CGPA 3.44) from Ungku Omar Polytechnic, Ipoh. My career has been built at the intersection of infrastructure engineering and enterprise delivery.

I specialise in HPC cluster deployment and administration, enterprise virtualisation with VMware and Proxmox, and cloud-native environments including OpenStack and Kubernetes. I have delivered mission-critical infrastructure projects for clients spanning banking, aviation, healthcare, and government.

My approach combines rigorous documentation discipline, compliance awareness (PCIDSS, KPMG audit requirements), and a hands-on R&D mindset — I regularly build and test infrastructure in my homelab before recommending it in production.

Outside of engineering, I enjoy travelling and reading, and hold a B2 and D driving licence.
