Finance automation · Software engineering

Hi, I’m Farish — I automate finance work and build software.

I combine accounting knowledge with Python, data, enterprise systems, and product engineering to turn repetitive work into reliable workflows.

An accountant who thinks like an engineer.

I work at the intersection of finance operations, process automation, and software development.

At PETRONAS, I manage end-to-end Accounts Receivable operations for PETRONAS Chemicals Group using SAP ERP (FI/SD), while identifying and automating manual finance processes with Python, SAP GUI Scripting, and Power Automate.

Before moving into finance, I spent more than two years building mobile and web software for startups. That engineering foundation now helps me see operational problems differently: as systems that can be understood, simplified, and improved.

Building better systems where finance and technology meet

Work that turns complexity into leverage.
