ICT Consultant for the National Flood Forecasting and Warning System (NaFFWS) project for the Sungai Pahang river basin commissioned under the Department of Irrigation and Drainage (DID). Scope of works primarily consists of designing, developing and implementing the operational system for NaFFWS. This includes the analysis and handling of Numerical Weather Prediction (NWP) and radar data. My tasks also include the optimization of hydrological models as well as the implementation of machine learning techniques for detecting patterns and forecasting trends in geospatial and time series data.
