Summary
I graduated from the United States Military Academy at West Point in June 2023 with a Bachelor of Science in Nuclear Engineering Science. My core competencies include Radiological Safety, Nuclear Reactor Engineering, Mechanics of Materials, and Materials Science which I applied in various projects and courses during my studies.
I am passionate about nuclear science and engineering, and I seek to leverage my expertise and knowledge in this domain to support the Malaysian government's mission and vision.
In my current role as an Engineering Officer in a field squadron, I lead a platoon of soldiers. My unit's tasks are including but are not limited to construction, demolitions, and limited CBRNE capabilities.
I value teamwork, leadership, and innovation, and I strive to learn new skills and knowledge that can enhance my performance and career development. I believe that I can bring diverse perspectives and experiences to the team, as I have studied and worked in different cultural, academic, and professional settings.
