🇲🇾 Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

I specialise in developing and implementing AI algorithms for medical image analysis and clinical outcome prediction. With familiarity in frameworks such as PyTorch, OpenCV, TensorFlow and Scikit-learn, I am keen to explore roles that leverage these tools in areas like computer vision and machine learning. Additionally, I am skilled in front-end development, designing intuitive website interfaces that enhance user experiences.

Outside of my professional work, I channel my creativity as a freelance photographer and videographer, blending my passion for science and art to inspire innovation and continuous growth.

Work Experience

2023 — 2024
Malaysia

Working on an AI healthcare project to detect myocardial infarction by analyzing AP4-echocardiogram videos, integrating U-Net semantic segmentation and LSTM architectures. Exploring DL libraries like PyTorch, OpenCV, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn etc.

2022 — 2023
Malaysia

Having a huge interest in parasitology, I was introduced to a Malaria project, exploring the genetic polymorphism of PkDBPaII of isolates in Malaysia.

2019 — 2023

Specialized in Product Photography/Videography, delivering compelling visuals while fostering strong client relationships. Notable collaborations include projects with local brands such as Sugarbelle and Softlove.

2022 — 2022
Malaysia

Acquired proficiency in specimen processing, specimen culture, microscopic examination, molecular testing, data documentation, etc, in five rotations: Virology, Clinical Bacteriology, Mycology, Tuberculosis & Molecular Imaging.

Projects

2024

AI, ML/DL, Predictive Modeling, PyTorch, OpenCV, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn

Developed a novel deep learning framework that integrates a U-Net architecture for segmenting left ventricular structures and wall contours, along with an LSTM model for classifying myocardial infarction using apical four-chamber echocardiogram videos. Trained and tested with frame-by-frame analysis, the model achieved moderate performance (Accuracy: 71.5%, AUC: 0.715) validated through 5-fold cross-validation. As a novel approach, these results provide a strong foundation for future research.

2023

PCR, DNA Sequencing, Cell Culture, Erythrocyte Binding Assay (EBA), Phylogenetics

Contributed to a Malaria research project focused on Plasmodium knowlesi, analyzing Malaysian isolates with varying parasitemia levels collected from 2019–2021 to investigate genetic polymorphisms in recent strains. Phylogenetic analysis revealed no novel genetic clustering of PkDBPαII isolates from recent years, indicating the genetic stability of this key malaria-causing parasite.
