Open to new IT roles — engineering, systems & solutions consulting

Hi, I'm Joseph Chu. An IT professional passionate about emerging technology — always learning, always building.

I'm a Senior IT Application Engineer with 8+ years across enterprise software and smart manufacturing. Today I build and integrate production-scheduling systems with .NET / C# and Asprova — and I bring deep roots in Oracle Business Intelligence, Single Sign-On, Identity & Access Management and enterprise system integration. I lead projects end-to-end across Southeast Asia and Japan.

Application Engineer, Senior Systems Consultant

I'm Joseph Chu — a Senior IT Application Engineer who bridges deep technical work and real customer outcomes. Over eight years I've grown from an enterprise Oracle & Business Intelligence consultant into a smart-manufacturing engineer delivering Industry 4.0 projects across the region.

Today I lead production-scheduling implementations end-to-end — from requirements to go-live — building integrations, solving complex problems, and mentoring the team along the way.

Where I've made an impact

Senior IT Application Engineer

Panasonic Factory Solutions Integration Systems Malaysia Sdn. Bhd.

Aug 2021 — Present

Managing and implementing Asprova — a globally-used advanced production scheduling platform — driving manufacturers toward smart, “dark factory” operations. I own delivery end-to-end and travel across Southeast Asia to bring projects live.

  • Lead full-lifecycle delivery — requirements, design, configuration, User Acceptance Testing, go-live and support — for manufacturing customers, locally and overseas.
  • Build plugins, Web APIs and Artificial-Intelligence-based penalty logic, and integrate Asprova with customers' Manufacturing Execution, ERP and SAP systems.
  • Troubleshoot complex C# expressions through deep root-cause analysis, lead pre-sales and demonstrations, and mentor junior engineers.

IT Consultant

Vision Technology Consulting

Feb 2018 — Jul 2021

Implemented and supported enterprise Oracle solutions across multiple client project sites — combining Business Intelligence, data engineering, Linux systems administration and direct client engagement.

  • Designed Business Intelligence reports & dashboards on Oracle Business Intelligence (OBIEE), validating data with complex SQL.
  • Built Extract-Transform-Load pipelines (Oracle Data Integrator) and administered Oracle Database on Oracle Linux / Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
  • Delivered Single Sign-On / Identity & Access Management and enterprise integrations (WSO2, Oracle Service Bus), through to User Acceptance Testing, training and go-live.

Asprova — scheduling for the smart factory

My current specialism is Asprova, an Advanced Planning & Scheduling solution that helps manufacturers optimise production, reduce lead times and move toward fully digital, autonomous operations. It's highly extensible — supporting custom plugins, Artificial-Intelligence-driven penalty calculations and .NET-based integration — which is exactly where I add the most value.
