Portrait of Suhiyini Kasim

Hi, I'm Suhiyini Kasim

Aspiring Software Engineer

Passionate about creating elegant solutions to complex problems. Building modern web applications with advanced technologies.

About Me

I’m a Computer Science student focused on software engineering, backend systems, and AI-powered applications. I like building software that is usable, reliable, and closer to production than a class assignment. Recently, I’ve been working with LLM-driven tools, API orchestration, cloud infrastructure, and deployment workflows. I’m especially interested in how AI systems use memory, external tools, and structured reasoning to solve real tasks. Currently looking for: software engineering internships in backend, full-stack, developer tooling, cloud, or AI applications.

Work

Software Developer Intern

AgroInnova Ltd
Jun 2023 - Aug 2023

During my internship at AgroInnova, I helped improve the user experience of an e-commerce platform built for farmers and vendors. I worked closely with developers and clients to understand what users struggled with, then turned those needs into cleaner page layouts, mobile-friendly screens, and easier navigation. A big part of my work was making the platform feel less intimidating for farmers who were not very comfortable with technology.

Highlights
  • Designed landing pages and dashboard mockups in Figma for an e-commerce platform, supporting developer handoff and faster UI implementation
  • Built responsive web pages with HTML and CSS, improving consistency across desktop and mobile devices
  • Worked with developers to identify and fix frontend bugs affecting usability and page behavior
  • Optimized interfaces for mobile access, improving usability for farmers and vendors using the platform remotely

Hackathons

A closer look at what I enjoy most about hackathons: working in a team, fast product iteration, and building under a tight clock.

What Those Experiences Taught Me

Hackathons are where I get to practice the most concentrated version of software building: aligning quickly with teammates, making good product decisions under time pressure, and turning a rough idea into something real enough to demo. I enjoy the pace because it forces clarity. We have to decide what matters, what can wait, and what will make the experience feel meaningful for the user.

They have also made me a stronger collaborator. I have learned how to split work cleanly, adapt when an integration goes sideways, and keep momentum by communicating early instead of waiting for perfect conditions. I come away from each event with sharper instincts for scope, usability, and how to ship something thoughtful even when the timeline is compressed.
