Final-year Mechanical Engineering (Hons.) student at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM), with strong academic and research interests in advanced manufacturing, surface engineering, and materials characterization. Completed an international research mobility program at NIT Ube, Japan under the JASSO Scholarship. Also awarded the Yayasan Sime Darby and Nitori International Scholarships.
Currently undertaking a Final Year Project focused on enhancing the surface properties of WAAM fabricated 316L stainless steel through thermochemical heat treatment processes. Hands-on experience includes wear testing, hardness profiling, SEM and EDX analysis, XRD, and process simulation using Simufact Welding.
Research on composite materials was presented at the 2024 ICIMR conference in Suzhou, China as first author and presenter. The paper was published in a SCOPUS indexed proceeding. Gold Awards received at IEDGII 2024 and DASAT 2025 for MATLAB based engineering innovations ViMPALT and VMATT. Developed Python based educational applications CMALT for composite materials and PFITT for fluid mechanics, both officially registered under MyIPO to support engineering education.
From October 2024 to January 2025, I participated in a three-month international research exchange at the National Institute of Technology (NIT), Ube College, Japan. This program was fully supported by the JASSO Scholarship and formed an integral part of my Final Year Project, which focused on enhancing the surface properties of WAAM-fabricated 316L stainless steel using thermochemical heat treatment process. Throughout the exchange, I conducted hands-on experiments, collaborated with Japanese researchers, and applied advanced materials characterization methods in a professional research environment.
Beyond technical experience, this opportunity provided valuable cultural and personal growth. Living and working in Japan strengthened my adaptability, improved my cross-cultural communication skills, and deepened my appreciation for Japanese research practices and innovation culture. This international exposure continues to influence my approach as an aspiring engineer with a strong global perspective.
I was honored to receive the UMW Scholarship Programme 2022, a prestigious award granted by UMW Holdings Berhad to high-performing students across Malaysia pursuing studies in engineering and related fields. I was selected as a recipient while undertaking my Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering (Hons.) at Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM). Awarded to fewer than 7% of applicants, this scholarship reflects a strong emphasis on academic excellence, leadership potential, and the pursuit of engineering impact.
Receiving this scholarship marked a significant milestone in my academic journey. It served not only as a source of financial support but also as a testament to my dedication and potential in the field of engineering. I am committed to making the most of this opportunity by staying focused, striving for excellence, and actively contributing to the UiTM community. I remain deeply grateful for this recognition and am enthusiastic about the doors it continues to open in my pursuit of impactful, meaningful engineering work.
Being named the Best Diploma Graduate was a proud milestone in my journey as a Mechanical Engineering student. It reflected the years of hard work, late nights, and a genuine passion for learning and applying engineering concepts. I consistently aimed for academic excellence while immersing myself in hands-on projects that helped connect theory to real-world applications. What drove me most was the curiosity to understand how things work and how engineering can make a real difference.
The Vice Chancellor’s Award added another meaningful layer to that journey. It recognized not just my academic results but also my active involvement in the university community, especially through leadership and innovation in engineering-related activities. Balancing academics with extracurriculars taught me a lot about responsibility, teamwork, and creative problem-solving. More than an award, it reminded me of my potential to grow into an engineer who can lead, collaborate, and contribute to something bigger.
During my internship at Toyota Boshoku UMW Sdn. Bhd., a leader in automotive component manufacturing, I was immersed in the practical aspects of Mechanical Engineering, gaining valuable real-world experience. This opportunity allowed me to apply the theoretical knowledge gained from my academic journey to solve engineering challenges in areas such as product design and manufacturing processes. By working closely with experienced engineers and professionals, I contributed to projects that aimed to improve product quality and operational efficiency, using cutting-edge technologies and engineering principles. This experience sharpened my technical skills and expanded my understanding of the automotive industry's standards and expectations.
The internship also played a major role in my professional and personal growth. I engaged in hands-on, cross-functional projects that emphasized teamwork, communication, and project management. I actively contributed to the design and optimization of automotive components that adhered to strict safety and quality requirements. Toyota Boshoku UMW’s culture of excellence and innovation inspired me to strive for continuous improvement and excellence in my future career. This experience helped me develop a strong work ethic, a growth mindset, and the confidence to face engineering challenges with adaptability and purpose. It shaped me into a more versatile engineer, ready to contribute meaningfully to the demands of a dynamic industry environment.
Working as a private tutor for the son of Datuk Wira Mohd Hafarizam Harun, a respected former UMNO lawyer, provided me with a meaningful opportunity to integrate my Mechanical Engineering background with real-world teaching. This experience allowed me to develop strong interdisciplinary communication skills, particularly in explaining complex academic concepts with clarity and structure. Teaching under the high standards of a family with a legacy of excellence taught me the importance of precision, discipline, and academic consistency. These values aligned closely with my engineering mindset, sharpening my ability to apply a methodical and focused approach to both education and problem-solving.
This tutoring journey also played a key role in my personal and professional development. It taught me to manage academic responsibilities while fulfilling long-term tutoring commitments, helping me build strong organization, time management, and resilience. I am proud to share that my first student was accepted into Sekolah Sultan Alam Shah (SAS), Putrajaya, one of Malaysia's top SBP schools. My second student is now enrolled in the IGCSE programme at MRSM Langkawi, known for its academic rigour and global standards. I am currently focused on guiding my third student, continuing to grow as a committed and results-driven mentor. This experience has deepened my passion for education and continues to shape my growth as a future engineer who values leadership, adaptability, and lifelong learning.
