From high school to Venari Solutions
August 22, 2026
My story in order: a hard high school stretch, a foundation year that let me reinvent myself, university that shaped my character, then Fusionex, Eezee, and now Venari Solutions. I did not come from a well-off family, but I grew up in a happy one. That gave me a stable place to return to whenever I was confused or struggling. High school was where I learned resilience I was lost through most of high school and had plenty to deal with. Not an easy stretch, but it gave me something I still carry: the ability to keep going without much clarity. Foundation was where I started reinventing myself My grades were mediocre, but enough to get me into Xiamen University Malaysia for foundation. A fresh start, and I used it. I studied harder than I ever had, and finished with Second Class (Upper Division). It was also when I started training seriously at the gym, the first time I felt I was actively becoming the person I wanted to be. University was where I learned to live alone I studied Computer Science at INTI International University and lived alone for all of it. Discipline, independence, and a much clearer sense of who I am when nobody else is setting my routine. Computer science never felt forced. I kept making the dean's list, graduated with First Class Honours, was a valedictorian finalist, published a paper as main author on software quality assurance, and received the Best Student award.

My first real systems were financial and operational Fusionex was the first team where I shipped software that had to be correct, not just impressive: e-commerce and reporting features, SQL for analysis dashboards, code review, documentation, integration work. I received a return offer, and it confirmed the kind of environment I wanted to keep building in. Eezee was my first startup offer in Singapore One day before my flight, lockdown hit. I worked remotely for six months before finally crossing by land in October. A strange period, but it showed me how much people can stretch. At Eezee I learned to own software end to end: procurement flows for enterprise buyers, SAP Ariba, Coupa, Oracle PunchOut and cXML integrations used by Fortune 500 customers and SMEs across Southeast Asia. Much of the work sat between product, operations, and engineering, across five markets. I wrote runbooks, cleaned up legacy modules, mentored interns, and became the person people came to when a client issue was genuinely high stakes. Now I build like a founder Venari Solutions is where all of that gets packaged into a smaller, more direct setting: SaaS products built in private, and custom systems for SMEs in Malaysia. The client's business requirements set the direction; within that, I decide the simplest useful path and build it properly. What people usually remember: I work close to the problem, stay comfortable with ownership, and keep pushing until the work is useful in the real world. Reach me at hello@venari.solutions.
