“Learning Agile and Scrum in a simulated pod environment at FDM was one of the most impactful experiences in shaping how I approach my work today. As a Backend Engineer specialising in supply chain management, I’m currently building a microservice that enables analysts to efficiently manage purchase orders. Leveraging technologies such as Java, Spring Boot, Kafka, AWS, and MongoDB, I’ve worked on solving complex challenges to optimise order processing at scale.”

“At FDM, I developed user guides to support stores across the APAC region, helping teams better understand and apply key reports and practices. That foundational experience gave me the tools to thrive in my current role, where our team is now exploring AI-driven innovations such as auto-generated meeting minutes and real-time translations tailored to various APAC languages. More broadly, our company is embracing AI solutions across different stages of the product lifecycle. AI has the potential to revolutionize retail. From optimizing inventory levels to reduce overstock, to enhancing delivery routes for improved efficiency and cost savings, the possibilities are endless.”
