Ryan Goh

Mechanical Engineer/Web Developer

Hi! I’m Ryan Goh, a Mechanical Engineer based in Malaysia. My career is defined by a unique blend of traditional engineering discipline and modern software development expertise.

I specialize in building tools that live at the intersection of Mechanical Design, Data Analytics, and Web Architecture.

The Bridge Between Two Worlds

My career sits at the intersection of engineering discipline and software systems. I began in the fast-paced startup ecosystem as a Web Developer, where I developed a strong foundation in UI/UX design, API development, and front-end architecture. This early exposure shaped how I think about systems—favoring clarity, scalability, and maintainability.

As I moved into mechanical engineering, I carried this software-first mindset with me. Working in traditional engineering roles, particularly in pressure equipment design, made it clear that many challenges were not purely technical, but systemic—manual workflows, fragmented tools, and knowledge locked inside spreadsheets or individuals. This naturally led me to focus on engineering automation, data-driven design, and tool development.

Today, I am transitioning into software engineering, currently working on HRMS (Human Resource Management System) platforms. This move is a deliberate evolution rather than a career change. Building enterprise software allows me to apply core engineering principles—process optimization, data integrity, validation, and reliability—at an organizational scale. Whether designing mechanical systems or software platforms, my focus remains the same: building robust systems that reduce friction, improve decision-making, and scale effectively over time.

Professional Focus & Core Competencies

🔍 Engineering Data Analytics

I leverage Python (Pandas, NumPy) and R to extract actionable insights from complex engineering datasets. My goal is to transform raw technical data into predictive models that drive better design decisions.

🤖 Applied Machine Learning

I’m passionate about applying machine learning in practical industrial contexts, especially in:

  • Predictive maintenance
  • Design optimization
  • Performance trend analysis

Rather than pure research, my interest lies in deployable ML systems—models that engineers can trust, interpret, and actually use in real-world environments.

🌐 Full-Stack Web Development

With a background in startup development, I build responsive applications using

  • React
  • Webpack 5
  • Node.js
  • Vue
  • Laravel

My current project, a React Boilerplate Library, focuses on creating optimized scaffolding for scalable front-end systems.

🛠️ Mechanical Design & Automation

I possess deep domain expertise in ASME BPVC Codes and PED compliance, with a professional focus on the design and verification of pressure equipment. My experience spans both technical design and regulatory-facing work, including:

  • ASME Section VIII Division 1
  • ASME Section VIII Division 2
  • PED compliance and conformity support
  • Design documentation, calculations, and audit engagement

Beyond traditional engineering practice, I bring a strong foundation in software design and automation, enabling me to translate complex code requirements and engineering logic into practical, repeatable tools for everyday engineering use. This approach bridges domain knowledge with system thinking, improving consistency, traceability, and efficiency across engineering workflows.

My flagship project, the ASME-PVDE, demonstrates my ability to build enterprise-grade automation tools using Excel VBA and Power Query.

For me, automation is not about replacing engineers, but about elevating engineering work by removing unnecessary friction and enabling deeper technical thinking.

Connect with Me

I am always open to discussing new projects at the intersection of engineering and technology. Whether you want to talk about ASME code compliance, React architecture, or data-driven engineering, I’d love to connect.
