I played a crucial role in the development of a high volume online service that revolutionised the way electronics products are tested on manufacturing lines. Through my efforts, we were able to host the backend project on Amazon Elastic beanstalk, resulting in a significant decrease in operational costs and enabling seamless interoperability between AWS lambda and our existing flask project. In addition to these accomplishments, I made a concerted effort to improve the scalability and maintainability of our codebase by introducing the DRY (Don't Repeat Yourself) concept and refactoring the backend code. These efforts paid off, resulting in a more efficient and effective online service for our users. Show less

In addition, I utilized my expertise in SQL and Django ORM to optimize data storage and search queries for our web apps, leading to a significant improvement in system response time. To ensure the reliability and stability of our web apps, I conducted thorough unit and load testing, resulting in a 75% reduction in system failure rates. In addition, I developed custom RESTful APIs to meet the unique needs of our customers, further enhancing the performance and functionality of our healthcare program. Overall, my efforts have greatly improved the effectiveness and efficiency of this vital program. Show less

As a research assistant, I was responsible for setting up and supervising experiments for my professor and assisting lecturers with their research work. I also organized tutorials and seminars for students to help them better understand the material. One of my most significant accomplishments was assisting a master's student with their thesis on testing for the tensile strength of locally produced kenaf fibre. To aid in this process, I designed and fabricated a tensile test machine to facilitate the testing and collection of data. These efforts were essential in helping the student complete their research and successfully defend their thesis. Show less
