Speaking on Search and Agentic AI in an auditorium

Activities & Impact

From a Process Safety Engineer in 2011 to an internationally recognized thought leader, my journey spans over a decade of transformative speaking, mentoring, and community building across three continents. I've had the privilege of sharing insights with thousands of professionals, from intimate corporate training sessions in Sydney to international conferences in Singapore, empowering the next generation of innovators and bridging the gap between cutting-edge technology and real-world impact.

"Incrementally be better with each passing day!" – This philosophy has driven my commitment to knowledge sharing, community leadership, and fostering innovation across Southeast Asia and beyond.
