SPIKE,TERENGGANU AND I

My name is Ahmad Ashiry Harun, born in Kuala Terengganu, and in my late 20s. I have worked for seven years in manufacturing after graduation in Mechanical Engineering. Indeed, it was a long and worthwhile working experience. The opportunity to be back in Kuala Terengganu and work here will be my ultimate and most rewarding experience.

My career started as a QA Technician, back in 2001 in Johor Bahru, where I gained working experiences. With the experience, I applied to work as an Assistant QA Engineer in an electronic industry and succeeded. I came to know a more about human interactions here.

There was a lot of Malay here and the working system was different too. I decided to move again, this time as a QA/QMS Engineer. The environment was different and I gained experiences of different nature, this time around.

Having been in Johor Bahru for seven years, I decided to bring back the experiences and put them to good use in Kuala Terengganu, where I can be with my family at the same time.

The opportunity given by SPIKE is an opportunity not to be missed. Placed as an entrepreneur trainee in IT management, the Usability division fits me well. The program is beneficial and should have been offered many years ago. However, it’s better late than never.
