We are very proud and happy to announce that Iraya Energies is now officially in Malaysia! We are looking forward to serve the energy industry with the latest advances in machine learning techniques in geoscience. #malaysiaboleh #KLAI #canlah #machinelearning #iraya 

Opening Iraya in Kuala Lumpur is more than just a company milestone, it is a personal journey. I first came to Malaysia in 2005, barely 25 years old, probably one of the first to hold the official title of “rock physicist” in South East Asia (once, I passed thru immigration and they thought my job was to be a rock star -how cool is that). My first boss was Phil Beale in Odegaard, we were then at Wisma Selangor Dredging with our band-of-brothers/sisters, who are more than just colleagues, but are family. We then moved to Rohas Perkasa when we got acquired by SLB, where I also met and worked with many talented people where I met so many scientists under one roof. Throughout the years, I did a lot of RP works in Malay Basin, Sabah, Sarawak, then across the regions -Thailand, Indonesia, China, Philippines,Brunei,Vietnam etc., therafter I also took more business development roles. One of the greatest perks, though for me in this industry is never ceasing to learn, always keeping us on our toes to come up with something new, and with the opening Iraya in KL, I am very excited to take on this new challenge of promoting the use of machine learning in geoscience,testing it, pushing it beyond its boundaries, and making it work. I am hoping our clients will share the excitement of experimenting, innovating, and invest in making machine learning deliver for the energy industry.

The path of a startup is rarely easy, nor glamorous. To my family, friends, team, colleagues, partners, investors, clients, thank you for being a source of courage and inspiration. You are definitely a part of this journey!
