In the dawn of The Fourth Industrial Revolution (IR 4.0), more technological advancements and investments in predictive analytics and big data are made. And I am one of the conduits that help the industry to produce graduates that can contribute in accelerating the revolution.Currently, I am a lecturer and the course coordinator for Structured Algorithms and Programming subject. We offer students education in problem solving basics, computer hardware, software and ethics using Python computer scripting as a medium of teaching.Previously, I have worked as a Data Engineer for the Centre for Research in Data Science (CeRDaS), Universiti Teknologi PETRONAS (UTP). We collaborated with several PETRONAS groups in Big Data and Predictive Analytics. Being involved in industrial prognostics applications, I gained valuable first-hand experiences in data analytics and machine learning algorithms. I am also engaged with server management, database management, server configuration and web design. I am also very tedious with server cleanliness and housekeeping.I am also a co-founder and Managing Director for Information Technology Graduates (InTeGra) Solutions. This company was established in March 2022 together with other great business partners. My primary responsibility as the Managing Director is to handle IT project management for our IT project. I also involve myself in partnership recruitments, product quality control and assessment, as well as communicating with our clients. Solid identity and high-quality standards should be integral and honoured in our business, which I am trying to nurture in the business's cultural beliefs. I am also a believer in good leadership skills and subscribe to the idea of leading by example and leading competently. I believe that having a strong leader will be able to lead the team to be more efficient and more productive, and this is the path that I am trying to achieve.My Master's degree research is on optimising Support Vector Regression in imputing missing values in a dataset. During this research period, I have published a research paper in a SCOPUS indexed journal and was involved in a paper for IEEE's International Conference on Big Data Analytics (ICBDA). My research thesis was presented and defended on 6th October 2021. I have completed my study in January 2022.
