Curriculum Vitae

I lead product engineering from the first requirement to launch.

And I build with AI agents every day.

For over 11 years, I have built payments, logistics and streaming products for Euronet, DHL, AT&T and the Singapore Government. Moreover, I run my own AI consultancy, where I scope, sell and build software for founders.

Thus, I understand both the code and the business that pays for it. I do my best work when I own the architecture and the product direction together.

Based in
Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia · Dubai, UAE
Availability
Remote. I work across time zones, including CEST.

Companies I build

How I build with AI agents

Most teams now use AI to write code. The hard part is control: what an agent may touch, and what a person must approve. This is how I run it on my own products.

  • 01Claude Code runs on my own server in long sessions, sometimes overnight for 9+ hours.
  • 02Agents deploy to staging on their own. A production deploy needs my approval through an ops layer I built, which holds the encrypted credentials and the task queue.
  • 03Every build runs against a regression list, so fixed bugs do not come back. Agents test first, then I test by hand.
  • 04Agents get read-only access, and only to data that is not sensitive.
