RM9M Smart-Agriculture Platform

Led a development team to design and deliver a ~RM9M smart-agriculture programme, managed end-to-end as project manager and software engineer. Delivered in two phases: a farm-management and fleet-tracking platform, then digitalisation of verification and loan processes.

Phase 1

Phase 1 — Farm Management & Fleet Tracking

A farm-management solution built around the full paddy cycle — every task tracked — paired with real-time fleet tracking and environmental telemetry.

  • Farm management solution tracking the complete paddy cycle and every task in it
  • Satellite crop analytics: Sentinel imagery + drone capture layered onto Mapbox (Mapbox Studio raster layers), computing NDVI / NDMI indices and statistics from the readings
  • AI crop-disease detection — inspects paddy for disease and returns a mitigation plan
  • Fleet management via Flashy, AWS IoT, and Teltonika FMB / FMC 920 telematics devices
  • Weather telemetry: Davis Pro V2 weather station wired through a Raspberry Pi mini-PC streaming to the AWS MySQL database
  • Support chat with Sendbird

Phase 2

Phase 2 — Digital Semakan & Loan

Migrated the physical verification (semakan) and loan process to digital — identity-first, AI-assisted, and fully online.

  • Migrated physical semakan (verification) and loan processes to a fully digital workflow
  • eKYC implementation with AWS Rekognition
  • On-prem LLM: setup with Ollama for document/processing assistance

  • Managed a ~RM9M programme end-to-end as PM + lead engineer
  • Led the development team: scope, sprints, delivery, stakeholder reporting
  • Phase 1 — farm management, satellite/drone crop analytics, fleet tracking
  • Phase 2 — digital verification, eKYC, and loan-process migration

Foundation — My Starter Template

GitHub

Meta-project · Tooling

The reusable monorepo template I synthesized from four production projects: Serverless Python, shared Lambda layer, Terraform (RDS/Cognito/S3), Amplify frontends, and 67 vendored design languages. Every new project starts here.

  • Canonical architecture: apps / services / layers / infra / docs
  • 67 vendored design-system skills, plan-first gate, API contract
  • Battle-tested pain-points playbook from live projects
  • The reason I can go from idea to deployed system fast

  4. 04Now

    AI-enabled developer / project manager

    • After understanding the full build lifecycle, I codified my process into a reusable foundation template and agent skills.
    • I now use AI to move from requirements to a deployed system measurably faster — without skipping quality gates.

( 03 )Approach

How I ship with AI

Most people talk about AI codegen. I built a system around it. After managing and building full systems end-to-end, I codified everything that worked into a reusable foundation — then wired AI agents into it.

01

One template, proven in production

A monorepo starter (frontend, serverless backend, infra, docs) synthesized from four live projects — so every new build starts from working patterns, not a blank page.

02

Agent skills that encode the process

Plan-first gates, API contracts, design-style selection, pain-points playbooks — the hard-won lessons become part of every build automatically.

03

Quality gates stay human-grade

AI speeds up the writing; verification stays strict — migrations before code, zero-destroy terraform plans, builds that must pass before anything ships.

04

Measurably faster, not sloppier

From requirements to a deployed system in days, not months — without skipping the review, test, and deploy discipline that makes it production-ready.

Let's build something

Looking for a software engineer who can also lead the project — or a project manager who still writes code? I work with startups and businesses that want systems shipped, properly.
