I first started out as a process engineer in an unique field of making vessel satellite communication (VSAT), wind energy generator before the company (Fong's Engineering) decided to focus on being a 100% medical device manufacturer and I being NPI lead. We became one of the first SMEs with ISO13485 and later, industry 4.0 transformation.In 2022, after 11 years in company, I decided to jump into a totally new consumer electronics industry of Dyson to experience something different and yet bring in my other experiences in helping Dyson to create a new yet-to-launch product with medical device requirement. Now, I am looking forward to another chapter!I love to work on new projects which brings new knowledge and challenges.I also love to work closely with my team, adding values to the project through our expertise and culture!Personally, I am a football( soccer) loving fanatic!
