My passion is related to the oil and gas industry and working with professionals to improve my quality of life through support and communication. Aiming to get an exciting job opportunity to begin my career by looking forward to a challenging position which demands the best of my professional ability in terms of analytical, decision making and communication skills that helps me in broadening and enhancing my current skills and knowledge. A valuable team player capable of contributing to the best and upliftment of the team.

In particular with respect to my work experience, I spent  months as an Engineering Intern at Arinex Sdn Bhd. My job during my internship was more project based task. In addition to writing all of the reports, organizing the meeting space, making templates in Excel File, and helping to write the final customer report, my job's technical knowledge was organized in a logical order that followed the project's flow of actions. During the first phase, my journey was more focused toward understanding how the company operates and included basic engineering calculations, exercises, analysis training and testing. This was reflected in the extensive amount of product quality checks I conducted under my supervisor's primary supervision. Technical challenges are always encountered along the way. I was working on the project's operational side at the time, helping to find alternative solutions based on the results of the tests that were run. I learned many new skills during the training session,including how to interact with individuals from different backgrounds. It also understood the importance of the accountability that an employee must uphold while at work and the need to avoid getting distracted by anything that would cause a delay in getting things done. Additionally, the value of team-work, the requirement of making the effort to consult with more senior engineers, and the importance of doing so all contribute to knowledge development. In the end, during the training phase, I developed the confidence to advance in the near future.

With the due respect, I want to state that currently, I have completed bachelor’s degree program in PetroleumEngineering at Asia Pacific University of Technology and Innovation (APU), Malaysia. My Final Year Project (FYP) is regarding Computational Fluid Dynamics Simulation for Two-Phase Gas-Malaysian Waxy Crude Oil Flow in a Pipeline. The project is to evaluate the effect of flow pattern of oil-gas concurrent flow based on the influence of superficial velocity of waxy crude oil and gas with wax deposition in a pipe. The evaluation will focus on studying the different types of mesh along with the effect of its shape, size and number to generate acceptable model based on mesh independence study and comparing the results with published experimental results. Throughout the four years at APU, I excelled academically with an overall GPA 3.5/4.0 with a 4.0 in my major classes. Additionally, I have highly developed interpersonal and communication skills through my participation in student chapters and extracurricular activity. Recently, SPE KL Student Chapter Council elected me as a Council of Program Chair and SPE Asia Pacific University elected me as a Program Chair & Social Activities Chair, which has given me the opportunity to strengthen my communication and leadership skills. Furthermore, I have hosted several events, one physical and one virtual, in which I invited a lead head of oil and gas and power generators from Sime Darby Industrial Sdn.
