My journey as a software programmer began when I learned programming language in 1977 while studying at the university in UK. Years after I graduated as a civil engineer, I wrote my first program to calculate the steel reinforcement in reinforced concrete structure. It made my work easier, as it was too tedious to calculate the bending moments for reinforced concrete beams. I moved on and worked as a design engineer for the company called Reinforced Earth, I wrote another program for designing of reinforced earth retaining wall structure.
In the year 1998 my brother and I embraced entrepreneurship and started an IT company called RCT Enterprise, selling computer hardware and at the same providing customized IT software solutions for companies. This was where I wrote the first POS (Point of Sale) system completed with full set account and payroll for the company which is now the upgraded version RCTSoft AIO, ready to serve the relevant firms in Malaysia. I also had the opportunity to develop ERP software for a textile manufacturing company.
Things took a turn for the better when I was commissioned by a property development company to write a program for property management. At the same time a lawyer also asked me to write software for his legal firm to handle the conveyancing of various development projects. This eventually led me to produce my 1st ever legal software.
In 2003 I took a break in the IT field to pursue my other interests. I stayed and worked in Shanghai for 5 years before finally deciding to come back to Malaysia. I picked up my work in programming again and started the development of my 2nd generation legal software.
Developing the software was an uphill battle as my knowledge of the ins and outs of the legal industry was insufficient. Fortunately I was given the opportunity to work closely together with a legal firm to fine tune the software, ensuring the end product is able to provide massive values to the users. Finally, after years of hard work, a powerful software solution is created and RCTLegal AIO is now ready to serve the legal firms in Malaysia and another RCTSoft AIO to serve the retail companies.
