About

A young tech enthusiast on a mission to make an impact — wherever I go.

I'm Adam, a freelance AI developer based in Bangi, Malaysia. With a knack for problem-solving and a passion for innovation, I bring a fresh perspective and a hunger for learning to every project I tackle — from coding complex algorithms to diving into the latest advancements in AI.

My work spans the full journey of an AI idea: researching the right architecture, prototyping fast, and then hardening it into something that runs reliably on real infrastructure — often self-hosted, always cost-conscious. I thrive on challenges and love turning ideas into reality.

Live Demos

Don't take my word for it — play with the work. Each demo below is a small, self-contained system I designed and built end to end.

01

Vision Playground

Real-time object detection running entirely in your browser. No server round-trips, no uploads — your camera feed never leaves the device.

LLM Chat

Chat with a language model hosted on my own hardware, streamed through a rate-limited proxy I built — the same self-hosted setup I deploy for clients.
