Experience

Brunei R User: Logistics

Starting late 2024, I began contributing to the Brunei R User group, a community dedicated to R programming. As part of the logistics team, I handle venue coordination, seating arrangements, and equipment setup to ensure meetups run smoothly and offer a seamless, enjoyable experience for all participants.

I served as the speaker for the group’s first 2025 meetup, where I delivered a talk on Spatial Data Analysis using the newly released {bruneimap} package. As a contributor to the package, I showcased its key features: Brunei spatial boundaries & datasets, and demonstrated practical applications and visualization built using this data.

NBT Brunei (Inchcape): Finance Clerk

During my transition from A-Levels to university, I was grateful to secure my first corporate role as a Finance Clerk at NBT. In this role, I was responsible for tax analysis, extracting financial data from Autoline software, importing it into MS Excel for categorization and cleaning, and filling in missing details such as reasons and sources. This process ensured accurate tax classification and compliance with financial regulations. Additionally, I assisted in training the India team on the same tax analysis procedures, ensuring consistency and accuracy across teams.

Beyond tax and expense tracking, I led the implementation of MS Power BI for financial analysis, developing interactive dashboards for expenditure tracking and credit note evaluations. I also guided the Customer Relations department in building their own dashboards to track customer complaints and satisfaction metrics, improving their ability to analyze trends and enhance service quality. These dashboards were later used in presentations and meetings, providing insights that supported decision-making and strategic planning.

In addition to these key projects, I also handled administrative tasks of issuing cheques, writing meeting minutes, and restructuring financial documentation. I revised the formats for claim forms, leave forms, discount approval forms, payment vouchers (PV), and supplier vouchers (SV) to improve clarity and efficiency in financial processing.
