* Led deep dive into Core Web Vitals resulting in major improvements, up to 70% in some metrics. Implemented specific React improvements as well as established performance guidelines.* Championed and designed cost and performance efficiencies around AWS: Cloudfront, caching, and selecting the appropriate data stores for different use-cases.* Proposed, championed, designed, and led implementation of the Braze engagement martech platform across teams and platforms. Successfully migrated… Show more * Led deep dive into Core Web Vitals resulting in major improvements, up to 70% in some metrics. Implemented specific React improvements as well as established performance guidelines.* Championed and designed cost and performance efficiencies around AWS: Cloudfront, caching, and selecting the appropriate data stores for different use-cases.* Proposed, championed, designed, and led implementation of the Braze engagement martech platform across teams and platforms. Successfully migrated to this in 3 months, massively improving costs spent on martech while onboarding and training developers and marketing teams in it.* Designed and improved cross-team, cross-platform solutions touching every part of the business. Was key in identifying core services to develop and share, and the roadmap to transition out of legacy services.* Led both hands-on and self-paced workshops and knowledge sharing. Nurtured and encouraged new leaders to hold and publish decision reviews and discussions.* Awarded two consecutive REAL DEAL (quarterly employee awards) as part of two separate teams. Show less

As MCO launched in 2020, together with some volunteers, I launched a community site kitajagakita.com aimed at being a directory matching groups needing and groups offering help in Malaysia.

* Conceptualized and executed the revamp of a community “site” product that had been neglected, building a modern Kubernetes workflow on top of legacy endpoints. Championed the product to various technical and product stakeholders. These sites were visualized using screenshots from a headless browser. This was implemented using Infrastructure-as-code and deployed into Openshift. This resulted in very high per-user engagement metrics.* Used my deep MySQL experience to optimize… Show more * Conceptualized and executed the revamp of a community “site” product that had been neglected, building a modern Kubernetes workflow on top of legacy endpoints. Championed the product to various technical and product stakeholders. These sites were visualized using screenshots from a headless browser. This was implemented using Infrastructure-as-code and deployed into Openshift. This resulted in very high per-user engagement metrics.* Used my deep MySQL experience to optimize performance of a new quiz product that was struggling at launch, which is now used regularly by schools across Malaysia.* Introduced a new Laravel API layer on a legacy codebase, handing off to a junior team who now maintain it with a 90% standard of test coverage with automated publishing of documentation. This lessened friction considerably with our offshore mobile team. Upon launch the app has received high ratings.* Produced a reporting admin in less than two weeks using Data Studio, Kibana+Elasticsearch, RESTful APIs, Laravel, and React, which showed valuable insights around an upcoming community engagement project. This resulted in more than 10% conversion rate where 3% was normally seen.* Developed an orchestration workflow with Ansible, Python, and Laravel that migrates data and rewrites foreign keys from on-premise installations into a centralized database, with minimal downtime (while staying reversible) and clear debug and audit output, due to modular, structured code design and a solid understanding of database internals. This has been used to migrate hundreds of instances and was successfully handed off.* Developed an international leaderboard that captured results of hundred of thousands of teachers. Using my in-depth knowledge of databases, data was processed in minutes instead of hours. Show less

In the lead-up to the 14th Malaysian General Elections, I worked with friends and strangers to launch a ride-sharing and subsidy-matching platform, pulangmengundi.com, to help Malaysians travel home to vote.The first version of the site was developed in under 3 days, and grew to raise more than RM100,000 and connected more than 10,000 Malaysians. The site and the wider #pulangmengundi movement were key factors that resulted in the second-highest voter turnout ever seen in Malaysia… Show more In the lead-up to the 14th Malaysian General Elections, I worked with friends and strangers to launch a ride-sharing and subsidy-matching platform, pulangmengundi.com, to help Malaysians travel home to vote.The first version of the site was developed in under 3 days, and grew to raise more than RM100,000 and connected more than 10,000 Malaysians.
