Always striving towards future innovation
Coming from a legal background, I have been immersed in the field of law and regulation for my career thus far whilst having diverse interests in the field of technology and human interaction.
Some of my personal achievements include:
-Publishing a dissertation on the difficulties of regulating blockchains in the commercial world in my university's legal journal;
-Part of the team that revamped the Sustainability Reporting Framework for the Malaysian Stock Exchange;
-Published several pop culture articles on Whatculture, a United Kingdom based pop cultural website;
-Assisted with the user testing of machine learning algorithm to assist with litigation research (Lexis Analytics)
Personally, have been an avid interest in the telling of stories by virtue of being an avid video game and movie enthusiast growing up. This interest in storytelling has also led to the gravitation towards sports stories and their pursuit of excellence whilst innovating within the confines of their regulatory landscape.
