CBT announced their second annual Top 100 IoT Influencer Award Winners, naming who to follow on social media. My name was selected based on industry standing, reach, credentials, influence, engagement, and content, all of which shaped the direction of IoT.

I just realized today that I couldn’t access and edit this Blog. Upon checking, I found out the domain had been auto-renewed in Nov.
Thus, what’s the problem?
For the past many years, I have received similar questions again and again. Finally, I decided to write simple notes (hand-drawn and with the help of some multimedia tool) regarding IoT.
This can be used for lecture notes or as a simple way to understand IoT. Initially, I made this a paid version, but finally, I decided to make it free for all.

Note: Don’t forget to download the second eBook entitled “Your IoT Journey” which is also available for free.
And I am in the process of writing the third eBook called “IoT Adventure”. Soon to be published if I have enough energy or encouragement to complete. Thanks, guys, for the support!

My name was first noticed and listed by Onalytica in their “The Internet of Things 2014 – Top 100 Thought Leaders” report published on April 15, 2014. The full report can be downloaded here.
Recently on May 18, 2022, Onalytica released another report entitled “Who’s Who in IoT?” The full report can be downloaded here.
In this report Onalytica takes a look at a range of influencers and personas, answering the key questions below:
As stated by Onalytica, their method of listing the influencers are shown below:
“Onalytica has been creating influencer lists for the last 10+ years, curating an influencer database of 1M influencers across 500+ topical communities within industries such as tech, finance, healthcare, education and many more.
It is our mission to shine a light on the most influential voices that are creating quality content, and driving engagement and impact online across social as well as traditional media.
Onalytica uses a unique combination of our proprietary software, human qualitative analysis,Who-in-IoT-Onalytica and secondary research to analyze online and offline influence, to create the best social influencer lists in the world. Our influence scores are driven by 38 algorithms and this methodology has been continually refined over the past 10 years to evolve with social media developments and how influence is best calculated.
We take into account social media influence across channels like LinkedIn & Twitter as well analyze offline influence through a proxy of online analysis looking at how much people are referenced within a topical context in blogs, media and video sites. We also look at how topically relevant an influencer’s content is and whose content drives the most engagement online and among the wider influencer community.
Each influencer is categorized by a number of criteria such as by role, influencer persona, expertise, location, audience, channel referencing the role they play within the wider influencer community and the way in which they’d collaborate with brands.”
My name has been listed in the “MyOnalytica experts” category which highlights influencers that are part of Onalytica’s marketplace, creating relevant content on social on the topic, driving the most engagement globally and keen to partner with brands. These influencers are often experts, social amplifiers, event speakers and independent analysts all in one. Full report can be downloaded HERE.
In early 2021, a group of second-year students (Fatehah, Chau Bing Heng, Teh Jing Ye, and Nazarudin) from the School of Engineering, UTM invited me for an online interview for their course subject “Graduate Success Attribute”.
Finally, they came up with the above “magazine” as part of their group project. However, I only received this yesterday. Thus, the info in the magazine might be slightly outdated.
However, I still would like to thank them for capturing the main points of the interview. Hopefully, it will benefit the young generations.
