02 — The story
Intern to permanent in seven months
I joined Farm Fresh as an intern in March 2025. Three months later I was promoted into the 8-month Protégé programme — and on 29 September 2025, four months in, I was converted straight to permanent staff with zero probation. Along the way I built the IT department's first e-ticket system and designed an in-house phishing simulation that saved roughly RM80,000 in vendor costs.
Before that: system development at UTMDigital, a Computer Science degree at UiTM Melaka, and six years running sales and marketing for a phone accessories business on the side.
