I am an experienced IT professional and entrepreneur driven by a passion for problem-solving, education, innovation, and collaboration. As a senior lecturer at Unitec Institute of Technology, I specialise in fostering industry-academia partnerships and leading the Capstone Project. I founded TechTALK to tackle New Zealand's STEM skill shortage by organising impactful seminars featuring global experts. Additionally, I launched PlatformPi to simplify and enhance education-industry collaboration and engagement. My teaching experience includes roles at Monash University Malaysia, Massey University, and The University of Auckland. I am dedicated to bridging gaps in the IT field and contributing to various industry advisory committees and professional organisations.
