Building Strong Software Foundations with Clean Code

In today's episode of Tech Talk, we’re joined by Marcus Low, General Manager and VP for APJ at Sonar, a global leader in clean code solutions. With software development playing an increasingly critical role in Malaysia's digital economy, Marcus shares insights on the concept of Clean Code, why it’s essential in modern software, and how it contributes to reducing technical debt and minimising project risks.

Marcus discusses the unique challenges Malaysian developers face in implementing Clean Code practices and the evolving role of software companies in Malaysia’s economy, especially as the nation becomes a hub for data centres, cloud services, and other digital infrastructure. As AI-generated code becomes more prevalent, he addresses the governance measures needed to ensure quality and security in software, as well as the repercussions of poor code quality in a highly interconnected IT ecosystem.
