About Myself
I am a fellow Malaysian based in Hong Kong and working as a Data Scientist with a passion for using data to build impactful and interesting AI applications. Some of my projects include building a UFC MMA fight predictor, Glassdoor Data Scientist Analyzer, and AI Video Interview Analyzer (AVIA), which won the 2021 HKU AI Robotics Vision Competition. When not doing Data Science-y stuff, I enjoy playing guitar, both electric and acoustic and covering John Mayer songs (the blues stuff, not the pop). I am also an avid Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fan and have watched a few live events. Currently, he is living off of his own product called Inkdrop.
