Tengku Syamil
Tech entrepreneur & consultant. I build internet projects and selectively take on consulting gigs. You can reach me at hi@syamil.me.
🏝️ I'm taking a break from work right now, but here's what I was doing before that:
- Growth Specialist at Canva (July 2021 - August 23)
- I also ran a simple web-app & newsletter that curates the best elements on Canva.com
Fun fact: My Canvakeywords project was what got me the gig at Canva. One of the founders reached out on my website, we had a call and at the end of the call he offered the opportunity.
Previously, I co-founded two crowdfunding platforms in Malaysia. They were acquired late 2019.
Skolafund.com was launched in 2015. Kitafund.com in 2019. They've been fully acquired by a regional crowdfunding platform by the end of 2019 and have been merged into a platform.
- Come support various charitable causes easily on Kitafund.com!
Some recognitions from my startup journey:
- Forbes 30 Under 30 2016 Asia: Social Entrepreneurs
- Digerati50 by Digital News Asia 2017 - The ones who will help to shape Malaysia's Digital Economy
I've been fortunate to get mentions & features in the media, too, for my work.
