Update…

I know I haven’t been blogging as much as I wanted to for the past one and half years. Therefore, I just want to update you all on what I have been busy with for the past period.

At the end of 2009, I joined local, young technology company called Infindo Technology and ever since I have been really enjoying the experience. Since then, I have worked on many exciting products and projects, starting with conceptualizing and managing Infindo’s main product Polygon, which is a white-label cross-platform appstore solution for telcos and enterprise. I’m proud to say that it’s now successfully implemented to Brunei’s leading mobile operator bMobile and it’s in the middle of implementation for other Telcos in the region.

I have also worked on many internal and client iPhone/iPad app projects, such as; EPL for iPad, EPL for iPhone, Formula 1, WorldCup for iPad, WorldCup for iPhone, WinterOlympics, iProperty, HSBC Brunei to name a few. Infindo has over 40 apps in Apple’s appstore alone.

Currently I’m heading Infindo’s Product Department, overseeing company’s product portfolio. My bosses have been extremely supportive of my initiatives in the company thus far, and I’m greatly appreciative of that. Infindo, as a company has experienced tremendous growth too, from just 10 employee startup to now over 50 employees, having offices in Malaysia, Brunei and Singapore.

Since I am a blogger at heart, I wanted to develop something for the blogging community. It’s a way of giving back to the community. So, with the support of my company and team, for the past few months, I have been working on a new free product that is going to benefit all bloggers greatly. You are going to find out more about it shortly in the next post. Till then, stay tuned and thanks for your support!
