About

I’m a public health physician and data scientist. Most of my current work at the Ministry of Health Malaysia is in digital health — health-data interoperability and enterprise data analytics — alongside continuing research in epidemiology and infectious disease. My interests sit at the intersection of data analytics, epidemiology, infectious disease and health systems, with a through-line of shortening the distance between evidence and action.
