Developer, designer, builder.
I'm Izzat, a multidisciplinary developer and designer based in Malaysia.
I work across software, cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and visual design — taking an idea from a rough sketch to something people can actually use. Some of that work is engineering: security platforms, web products and business systems. Some of it is craft: jerseys, brand identities and interfaces.

Design experience
Design runs alongside the engineering. I'm self-taught in graphic design, photography and videography, and since 2023 I've designed jerseys, banners, posters, social media content and print materials for employers and clients — including through Palas Creative, where I work freelance. I apply the same eye to the interfaces I build.

- Adobe Photoshop

Leadership and entrepreneurship
Alongside software I build business initiatives. Palas Creative is a creative brand for sportswear and visual identity, and BayarSwift is a centralised payment system that lets a company invoice clients and collect payment through shareable payment links.
