With over a decade of experience in artificial intelligence (AI) and technology innovation, I began my career as an academician at Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), contributing to academia for 8 years. Transitioning into the startup world, I successfully led a venture that was later acquired. Now at Malaysian Research Accelerator for Technology & Innovation (MRANTI), I am dedicated to accelerating the commercialisation of innovative technologies, particularly in AI, driving Malaysia’s economic growth by empowering innovators to succeed on a global scale.
