Faiz Muhammad
Head of IT @ Volkswagen Passenger Cars Malaysia (VPCM)
About
I started my career as a control valve assembler, where I developed a solid foundation in hands-on technical work. Driven by a passion for technology, I pursued further studies in industrial electronics for three years. Upon graduating, I was selected for an intensive four-month training program in Wolfsburg, Germany, where I specialized in vehicle electronics system programming. Over the past decade, I've honed my expertise in UPS programming, software analysis, and system maintenance, becoming a specialist in these areas. My journey in the automotive industry has been rewarding, allowing me to develop a deep understanding of complex systems and their operational integrity. Now, I'm embracing a new challenge: transitioning from vehicle testing to IT governance and security. It's a significant shift, and I feel like I'm starting back from scratch, but I'm excited about the opportunities ahead. I’m committed to mastering this new domain and look forward to succeeding in this evolving field.
