About Me

Bridging the gap between Complex Systems and Human Experience.

My name is Suzaril Shah. I am a passionate person looking for something new to learn every day and love to share knowledge with my community to empower them to achieve more in the future. Gained passion for the tech industry at such a young age, I know how hard it is to gain knowledge and now serving to contribute my expertise to the public as a Docker Captain and Microsoft AI and Azure MVP. Currently working as a Senior IT Systems and Customer Engineer at Swift, juggling between work and research life. Trust me, it's not easy to have so many things on your plate, but I manage to do well in both worlds due to a strict time and stress management approach.

Project Case Studies

  • Octo. Create professional multi-scene videos from scripts using AI. From concept to final cut in minutes, not weeks. Current AI video production is fragmented and restrictive, hindering professional storytelling. Creators struggle with models that lack "memory," making it impossible to maintain character or subject consistency across different scenes. The workflow is further broken by the need to switch between separate generation and editing tools, while the industry-standard 12-second generation limit renders true "text-to-movie" creation tedious and disjointed. Additionally, the lack of sophisticated AI prompting assistance often results in sub-par, non-studio quality outputs. Octo resolves these limitations by leveraging Azure Sora 1 and Sora 2 to create a unified, persistent creative environment. The platform introduces subject-aware memory to ensure perfect continuity and integrates a full video editor directly into the generation workflow. Users can seamlessly execute Text-to-Video, Image-to-Video, and Video Remix tasks across multiple resolutions and durations. With granular cost tracking per video and a complete history log, Octo transforms short clips into cohesive movies without financial surprises.
  • Prismo Finance. The intelligent finance platform for modern Malaysians. Track expenses, optimize taxes, and build wealth — all in one place. Many users face significant financial blind spots due to a lack of clear visualization, resulting in monthly financial leakage and frequent overspending. This issue is compounded by the difficulty of maintaining physical tax records and documents, as there is currently no centralized, digital solution to effectively streamline personal bookkeeping and ensure tax compliance. Prismo solves these problems by offering an AI-powered financial ecosystem that forecasts budgets and allows users to chat with an intelligent assistant for personalized usage insights. The platform tracks income, credit card consumption, subscriptions, and tax deductions through beautiful dashboards, while enabling users to collaborate on budget groups, set financial goals, and receive automated reminders for bills and commitments.

Industry Advisory Panel

German Malaysian Institute

As an Industry Advisor at GMI, I serve as an External Assessor for Final Year Diploma students in Network and Cyber Security to evaluate technical competencies on capstone projects. Drawing upon my professional standing as a recognized Professional Technologist (Ts.), I actively evaluate and refine the academic framework for the newly established Bachelor of Cyber Security program. This involves participating in foundational workshops to ensure the curriculum structure strictly aligns with the rigorous industry standards set by the Malaysia Board of Technologists (MBOT) and successfully bridges the gap between academic theory and evolving cybersecurity demands.
