After the realization set in that, Faris do not want to make it as an electronic engineer, he took the decision to go and try something new out of pure curiosity and thirst for new adventure. It didn't come quite handy but he have changed his major three times. Faris have a strong passion for AI, machine learning and data science. Has been working with Fintech start-up (Pod for microsaving) to build a data strategy and providing AI powered solutions.

Fares have worked on various projects with medical imaging in diagnosing tuberculosis using chest x-ray images has given him a purpose and clarity of the quality of life we could achieve from developing artificial intelligence technologies. His next mission is to further research in this field for there Faris could contribute by an ounce for the betterment of humanity.

He is also focused on contributing to various initiatives workshops and meetups to spread the knowledge of artificial intelligence and machine learning in support of the democratization of Ai technology. He is a contributor to DevCon initiative by MAGIC (Malaysian Global Innovation Center) in the machine learning chapter by conducting the bi-monthly workshop for a group of participants, students, and working professionals. He worked with CIMB 3D program to raise the awareness of artificial intelligence as part of the workforce development program.
