RESUME

Overview

I'm a professional in the field of software engineering, computer networking as well as wireless sensor network (WSN). Currently I'm specialize in the development of Internet of Things (IOT) platform/middleware and application. I have over 10 years experience in Research and Software Development.

As a Lead IOT Engineer at my current company -- REDtone IOT Malaysia, I have been architecting and developing a platform for Smart City Application. In general, my responsibility spans Architecting IOT solution, IOT middleware development and IOT deployment.

Prior to my current role, I was a researcher in software and wireless communication Lab in National Research Institute in Malaysia (MIMOS). The specific research works that I have done in previous company were mainly on Internet of Things, IP/IPv6 based Wireless Sensor Communication (e.g. 6LoWPAN and Zigbee) and Mobile Ad-hoc Network and Routing Protocol. As a Researcher, I have published several scientific publications as well as some Intelectual Properties (IP).

Achievements

APICTA 2016 Merit Award for CitiAct Citizen Engagement Solution - [Team Achievement Award]

Winning Merit Award under category the Best of e- Government & public sector.

[Team Achievement Award] Malaysia Innovative Smart City Solution Provider of the Year (Frost & Sullivan Award's 2016) - [Team Achievement Award]

Through our smart-city application called CitiAct, REDtone IOT has been named as Malaysia Innovative Smart City Solution Provider of the Year by Frost & Sullivan. The CityAct is built by a team of 7 Engineer. It is citizen-centric smart city solution. We gave the power to “sense” to the citizens themselves. When we have both the elements of IOT technology coupled with human sensitivity, it gave a totally different dimension – Nothing beats the data generated that has a human emotion inside.

Working Experience

REDtone IOT

Lead IOT Engineer • Jan, 2015 — Present

REDtone IOT Sdn Bhd. was incorporated in Malaysia to focus on providing Internet of Things services and solutions. I am responsible for architecting, designing and developing horizontal platform for IOT, as well as vertical IOT solutions. For the vertical IOT solution, we have successfully developed a Citizen Engagement application (CitiAct) that runs on top of our Smart-City Platform (Citisense). My responsibilities includes:

  • Architecting and designing the IOT Middleware as a generic platform for IOT verticals, especially for Citizen Engagement Application
  • Building underlying Big-Data system for REDtone IOT platform using mostly open-source tools such as Apache Cassandra, Apache Solr and MongoDB
  • Developing Microservices that are required by REDtone Smartcity solution
  • Designing a Citizen Engagement solution as one of IOT vertical that enable the involvement of citizens in assessing the city and identifying issues within the city. This platform is part of REDtone Smart-city solution and build on top of the IOT platform
  • Designing and Developing RESTful APIs for all required components in the development of REDtone Smartcity solution
  • Building Docker and Vagrant to offer containers with the desired environment and tools for continuous development and deployment
  • Developing and Containerizing Authentication and Authorization micro-service to be used as Authentication and Authorization module for all applications under REDtone IOT-Smart-City Solution
  • Designing and developing several front-end applications for CitiAct Smart-City solution using Angular-JS

Tools Used: NodeJS, AngularJS, Cassandra, Apache Solr, MongoDB, Hadoop, RabbitMQ, LogStash, Git, BitBucket, Docker, GruntJS and GulpJS, Swagger, Nginx.
