In 2026 alone he has delivered hands-on programmes for the Royal Malaysia Police, a university hospital, the Government e-procurement operator (Commerce Dot Com), university faculties and libraries, and visiting cohorts from China — from one-hour webinars to multi-day professional-certificate modules. Appointed an AI Champion by Malaysia's Ministry of Higher Education, he designs his own training modules (five registered as copyrights at UKM) and keeps them current through continuous certification, including Anthropic's Claude and Microsoft–LinkedIn generative-AI tracks. Behind the training sits a research record of 113 publications, a Ph.D. in Evolutionary Computing and RM 1.51M in competitive grants, including a national project building a large language model for the Malay language. Senior Lecturer at Universiti Kebangsaan Malaysia, previously Assistant Professor at JAIST, Japan.
