About

I don't just make games - I build the systems that blur the line between physical and digital worlds.

As a Game Technology student at UTeM with a consistent Dean's List record (CGPA 3.83), I've shaped my studies around the intersection of real-time engines, XR development, and intelligent game systems.

My Final Year Project, GearUp, is a Mixed Reality tabletop simulator that lets users assemble Perodua Myvi engine components in spatial AR via Meta Quest 3S passthrough - hands-on learning without a physical engine bay.

Outside the lab: facilitator, game jam champion, student society secretary, and national exhibition presenter at Hari TVET Negara 2026.
