Co-founder and coordinator of Sinar Project, the Kuala Lumpur-based civic-technology organization whose work spans parliamentary transparency, internet-freedom monitoring, and AI governance. Emerging from the Malaysian open-data activist scene galvanized by the Bersih 2.0 rally in July 2011, Yusof leads Sinar Project's programme design and technical implementation — a background in open-source software development (FreeBSD, Linux, Python) underpinning tools from parliamentary written-reply archives and anti-corruption contract databases to OONI-based censorship dashboards — and advocates for strategic litigation as a mechanism to challenge internet blocking as potentially unconstitutional.
