> Software & Data Engineer
Contributing to and maintaining full-stack products and the data platforms that power them. Based in Kuala Lumpur — studying at Universiti Malaya and working as a software and data engineer at Rotate Asia.
I'm Moaaz — a Software Engineering student at Universiti Malaya. I spend most of my time building real products, leading teams, and learning by shipping.
Right now I'm working with Rotate Asia as a Software & Data Engineer on a large production stack — including Angular on the frontend, Databricks on the data side, and Cube.js as the middleware between them — working across both the application and the data layers.
I'm also Head of the Technology Department at UMISA. After architecting and shipping umisa.net from the ground up as Tech Lead, I now lead the tech department through the 2026/27 session, continuing to maintain and improve the platform and the association's technology as a whole.
I'm a fast learner and mostly self-taught — always curious to explore new frameworks, tools, and technologies. I'm drawn to products that solve real problems for real people.
Architected and built the official umisa.net platform from scratch. Led a team of developers and a designer while actively coding the full stack with Next.js, Sanity CMS for dynamic content, and Supabase for the database. Still shipping new features and maintaining the platform after the v1 launch.
Impulse-spending tracker built solo for the Shortcut Asia 2026 mini hackathon. Log items you want, set a cooling period, then skip or buy with a clear head. Tracks savings, streaks and milestones, with group expense splitting, multi-currency support, and a time-cost lens that converts any price into hours of your life.
Led the team and owned the recommendation engine for a web app that analyses your film taste, recommends new movies, and roasts you for them. A two-stage hybrid recommender: cosine similarity over movie feature vectors builds a shortlist, then an SVD collaborative-filtering model (scikit-surprise) re-ranks it per viewer persona. Served from FastAPI, with Gemini-generated roasts and TMDB posters in a React + Vite frontend.
Building the coach-facing Flutter app for a dual-interface fitness platform, integrating the mobile client with a central FastAPI and PostgreSQL backend for seamless data sync between coaches and clients.
MERN travel planner built for a web programming course. Browse eco-friendly transport and stays, save favourites, generate AI-assisted itineraries, check live weather, and calculate a trip's carbon footprint. Session auth with bcrypt, an Express 5 REST API on MongoDB, and a React + Vite frontend.
Led an 8-person team to build a university eco-events platform for Universiti Malaya, with role-based access for admins and members, event management, and a CRUD dashboard.
Android fitness app for workout planning, diet tracking and progress monitoring. Implemented Firebase Authentication and user session management for the team project.
Designed a relational database system for a campus food outlet: ERD, normalisation to 3NF, DDL/DML queries, and a management dashboard deployed in Oracle APEX.
Personal finance system with registration, login and hashed-password security, built as a modular Java application connected to MySQL via JDBC.
The site you're on. Built with Astro and Tailwind CSS, fully static and responsive, with a dark techy aesthetic in Space Mono and Syne. Deployed on Vercel.
