Before YouTube, I spent years in B2B revenue leadership, including as CRO of a sustainable materials manufacturer, where I produced industry research, investment reports and export compliance analysis across Southeast Asia and Australia.

I’m meticulous about sources and fact-checking, and comfortable turning dense technical material into clear, structured research briefs. Based in Kuala Lumpur (GMT+8).

The brief: A long-form explainer for What Actually Is on how two companies, Everllence (formerly MAN Energy Solutions) and WinGD, came to design the two-stroke engines that power almost all of the world's large cargo ships, and what that means for global trade. What I did: Built the research brief: engine licensing, the Dali bridge collision and 2024 Red Sea rerouting as real-world cases, and the methanol versus ammonia race in shipping's fuel transition Fact-checked every claim, correcting common myths in the original brief before scripting Directed the script for a Tier-1, analytical audience Produced the full video: AI voiceover, 296 custom scene visuals, editing and packaging The result: A 16-minute deep dive with an average view duration above 5 minutes. https://youtu.be/s2Vwu2tFQAU

The brief: A long-form explainer for What Actually Is on why a single Dutch company, ASML, is the only supplier of the EUV lithography machines that every advanced chip depends on, and why even TSMC calls them too expensive. What I did: Chose the angle and built the research brief: EUV physics, the supplier network behind each machine, export controls and the cost curve Researched and fact-checked every claim against primary and industry sources Directed the script structure for retention (hook, open loops, re-hooks) Produced the full video: AI voiceover, 274 custom scene visuals, editing and YouTube packaging The result: A 13.5-minute explainer where the average viewer watches around 43% of the runtime, strong retention for long-form technical content. https://youtu.be/Yvn1PfP37lY
