THE PEOPLE BEHIND THE SIGNALS · C220
Built under pressure. Governed by evidence. Designed to remember.
OnTheRice is a temporal evidence and intelligence system: it records what happened, shows what the evidence can connect, makes falsifiable calls, preserves the result and carries bounded lessons into the next edition. AI output is not treated as truth. Every claim must survive sources, rules, real users and time.
People make the record accountable.
These are the people responsible for the product, the commercial questions, the safety boundaries and the human experience behind OnTheRice. Their biographies and achievements are preserved as a public record; they do not change a locked editorial call or its settled result.
THE TEAM
Builders, operators and mentors.
Four contributors bring distinct experience and a shared standard: make useful signals easier to inspect, question and act on.
Founder and Chief Product Architect
Faheem Aizat Kamsan
Background and reach: Singapore · Emergency medicine and product architecture
Faheem defied the odds. After a PSLE score of 147 and the Normal Technical stream, he taught himself AI through daily reading, experimentation, prompt engineering and building. He took a production product to Google Play Store, developed the early work and pitch for Super AI Genesis, applied for SLINGSHOT, and was invited to a closed Google DeepMind and Google Cloud session for 40 founders at Marina Bay Sands. Now transitioning from his paramedic career, he brings emergency-service calm, urgency and accountability to OnTheRice as its founder and chief product architect.
A timeline of the work
- 2025 · Prompt coding engineering on Base44 became therapeutic work for Faheem: solving complex architecture and systems problems gave him a constructive outlet when he could not afford traditional therapy.
- December 2025–January 2026 · Created OnTheRice, originally as a food-ranking app.
- January 2026 onwards · Faheem's prompt-engineering skills became advanced enough to pull data from the web. He used multiple LLMs to create engine blueprints in PDFs, then architected a step-by-step flow underneath the system to pull correct data and timestamps from verified sources. OnTheRice became an intelligent system rather than a food-ranking app.
- February 2026 · Daniel Tan scouted Faheem through LinkedIn after his daily OnTheRice postings; their mentorship began.
- April 2026 · Faheem formed the founding trio with Daniel Tan and Aidil Aqmal and began building the governed system together.
- May 2026 · Created OnTheRice Universe, registered AI competitions and grants, and was scouted by Dato Seri Ambran Abu Bakar to create scaverse.org. Before the contract was signed, Faheem architected SCAVerse's isolated worlds and received the contract solo against funded engineering teams; mentorship under Dato Seri Ambran Abu Bakar began.
- June 2026 · Added a production product to Google Play, was invited to Google DeepMind's closed meeting for 40 founders, reached the top 100 before elimination in SuperAI Genesis 2026, and became a board member of the SCAVAI Alliance.
- August 2026 · Faheem received a B2G role as SCAVAI planned larger things for SCAVerse; he also received recognition at SCAVAI's 9th anniversary ceremony and reached SLINGSHOT AI competition preliminaries.
- September 2026 · The real Asian Operatic Museum received notable press; the SCAVerse team handled media for the real museum and also built its virtual platform at aom.scaverse.org. The museum is in Arab Street and is set to open in October 2026. Faheem was accepted as an e27.co thought-leader contributor with his first article and began mentorship with Udeep Jani.
Co-founder, Commercial Advisor and Mentor
Daniel Tan
Background and reach: Asia-Pacific · Warner Bros. Discovery and The Walt Disney Company
Daniel Tan is an accomplished Asia-Pacific marketing and growth leader whose career spans two of the world's most influential entertainment companies: Warner Bros. Discovery and The Walt Disney Company. He has led brand, subscriber-growth, customer-retention, pricing, partnerships and commercial strategy across globally recognised portfolios including HBO, Max, DC, Discovery, Cartoon Network and Disney+.
Tan.daniel@outlook.comWarner Bros. Discovery leadership
As Head of Marketing for Asia-Pacific and later APAC Senior Vice-President of Marketing at Warner Bros. Discovery, Daniel worked across one of the world's largest entertainment portfolios. His remit covered subscriber growth, customer retention, brand strategy, partnerships, pricing and commercial performance for businesses and properties connected to HBO, Max, DC, Discovery and Cartoon Network.
Eight years at Disney
Before Warner Bros. Discovery, Daniel spent eight years with The Walt Disney Company. He helped lead Disney+ launches in Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, contributing to the platform's rapid rise across Southeast Asia.
Global franchises and theatrical campaigns
His experience also includes major theatrical releases such as Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel, Aladdin, The Lion King and Frozen 2. That combination of global franchise stewardship and local-market execution gives him unusual range across audience insight, brand building, distribution and monetisation.
Leadership under change
Daniel has guided high-performing teams through more than ten reorganisations while continuing to improve revenue, user acquisition and customer lifetime value. He combines creative instinct with data rigour, global perspective with local nuance, and strategic clarity with hands-on execution.
What he brings to OTR
As Faheem's commercial mentor, Daniel makes OTR answer the questions that decide whether an ambitious product becomes a serious business: who it serves, what decision it improves, why clients should trust it, how it earns attention and how value is sustained from first contact to renewal.
Co-founder, Co-Architect, Advisor and System Security Lead
Aidil Aqmal
Background and reach: Singapore · Public service and digital transformation
Aidil Aqmal brings public-service discipline, regulated-environment experience and security judgement into OnTheRice. As a Higher Superintendent and Senior Trade Officer in government, he understands accountability, operational controls and digital transformation inside high-trust environments. At OTR, he pressure-tests release controls, client spaces, evidence records and administrative access.
Public-service background
His government work brings operational discipline, public accountability and regulated-environment understanding into the team. He has also been recognised with the Good Service Medal and attended the Singapore University of Social Sciences.
Digital transformation
A government digital-transformation case study shows how officers used the GatherSG platform to build and deploy their own internal digital solutions. That practical experience informs Aidil's focus on secure access, audit trails, incident handling and systems that staff can operate responsibly.
What he brings to OTR
Aidil helps separate public intelligence from private-client records and tests whether controls remain clear under pressure. His role is to question weak boundaries before they become security or governance failures.
Advisor, Mentor and Strategic Institution Builder
Dato' Ambran Abu Bakar
Background and reach: Malaysia / Asia-Pacific · Smart cities, AV and AI
Dato' Ambran Abu Bakar gives OnTheRice strategic range, institutional discipline and regional credibility. A distinguished entrepreneur, former infantry officer and technology leader across Smart City development, Audio-Visual technology and Artificial Intelligence, he mentors Faheem on leadership, partnership formation, market entry and building technology with long-term institutional value.
Military excellence
He served as an Infantry Officer. At the ASEAN Army Rifle Meet 1996, he achieved first place as a GPMG gunner and runner-up as a carbine shooter—evidence of the discipline, precision and calm execution that continue to shape his leadership.
Entrepreneurial success
He founded A2Y Consulting Sdn Bhd and led major work including the SUK Selangor Smart Office Project, helping the company cross its first RM1 million revenue milestone in 2007. He received the Consultant of the Year Award in Amsterdam at Integrated Systems Europe 2017.
Recognition
BTA Global presented him with a Lifetime Achievement Award in July 2025. In January 2026, he received a Dato'ship from the Kutai Maharaja in connection with the Kutai SCAVerse Kingdom.
Global leadership
Across the Middle East and Asia-Pacific, his work spans 19 countries, five smart cities and 14 smart buildings or spaces. He is known for strategic thinking, cross-regional partnerships and helping organisations adopt technology with a long-term view.
What he brings to Faheem and OTR
Dato' Ambran mentors Faheem in leadership, institution-building and regional strategy. He helps OTR form serious partnerships, enter new markets, govern complex work and keep its purpose while it scales.
Vision and impact
For OTR, his role is not decorative: he challenges the founder to think bigger, act with discipline and build a connected intelligence institution that can remain useful worldwide.
HOW THE TEAM GOVERNS OTR
Clear authority. Visible boundaries.
Faheem holds final product-architecture responsibility. Daniel Tan mentors commercial clarity, customer understanding and growth discipline. Aidil advises on defensive controls. Dato' Ambran mentors leadership, institutional strategy and regional partnerships. Advisors may challenge the work, but no advisor may silently rewrite a locked public call or its settled result.
