How Igot here.

I started in Civil Engineering, moved into Data, and found my way into AI.

02 /The story

Four turns,one path.

  1. 01

    Where it started

    I did not start in tech.

    Civil Engineering came first: construction sites, BIM, then geotechnical engineering.

  2. 02

    The data turning point

    The questions changed.

    Millions of equipment readings turned my questions towards automating, processing and visualising them.

  3. 03

    Moving into data

    From using data to building around it.

    As a Data Analyst, I kept asking what happens before the dashboard.

  4. 04

    Data to AI

    Data led me to AI.

    Working deeper with data, AI stopped being an idea and became something I could build with.

03 /Why I build

Most of my projects startwith something bothering me.

  1. Sometimes it comes from work.

    That becameFORMAWork problem → Engineering toolActive
  2. Sometimes it comes from everyday life.

    That becameVSBEveryday problem → Real productActive
  3. Sometimes it is simply curiosity.

    That becameSepang Vision LabCuriosity → ExperimentActive

For me, building is how I find out.

04 /How I work

Progress usuallycomes from iteration.

I like understanding a problem by working through it.

  1. 01Input

    Understand what exists

  2. 02Process

    Make it tangible

  3. 03Iterate

    Test what works

  4. 04Progress

    Keep moving forward

05 /Learning and sharing

Learning is betterwhen I can pass it on.

My long-term goal is not only to work in Data and AI, but to understand the field deeply enough to make it useful to other people.

The loop

  1. Learn
  2. Apply
  3. Build
  4. Reflect
  5. Share

08 /Away from the screen

Away from the screen.

When I am not working or building something, there is a good chance I am running, playing volleyball, following Formula 1, or finding another interest that eventually turns into a project.
