About

I am a lifelong learner and an avid reader.

Currently, I am working as a Vice President of Engineering for deriv.com in Cyberjaya, Malaysia. In my free time, I love to read or learn something new to enhance my skills.

Leadership Servant beliefs

  • You are the servant of the team, not the leader.

  • Team success is the only thing that matters.

  • We hired team members for a reason: trust and let them grow.

  • Encourage autonomy.

  • Be supportive.

Development beliefs

Simplicity is one of the greatest virtue

No matter how good the website design or software application is, it’s doomed if it doesn’t serve the purpose users seek. The first and foremost criterion for users is simplicity.

Elegance

After simplicity has been addressed, the question becomes, “How can the content or application be presented simply yet appealingly?” This is where creativity comes in. The website or application should be simple yet elegant, and the design should not mask the content.

Feedback

As designers or developers, we tend to think that whatever is designed needs no correction, but I think it’s important to consider and incorporate user feedback.

Maxims of life

  • Life is simple; don’t complicate it.

  • Life is to be happy, not to hold on to grudges.

  • In life, be like d**k: flexible most of the time but firm when needed.
