He is the founder and artistic director of ejklsseni, as well as a lecturer in Sunway College (teaching theatre and film) and TARUMT (teaching theatre). Prior to his current teaching position, he was a lecturer in IIUM (teaching literature courses).

Additionally, he has also done works on dramaturgy, scenography and sound design – whereby he specializes in blackbox style immersive performances. His previous works often revolve around the concepts of self discovery in which he utilizes a dramatherapeutic semi-devised approach towards his play development; with heavy themes, ranging from grief, sex, religion, sexuality, trauma, and many more. He was part of the production team (as director, writer or both) for several award-winning plays in the past: including Festival Teater Kuala Lumpur 2013, Festival Teater Kuala Lumpur 2015, and Anugerah Teater Malaysia 2023. Acap is also currently a PhD candidate under the Universiti of Malaya, whereby his practice-led research focuses on utilizing multisemiotic-modelling as a tool for dramaturgy in blackbox-style theatre performances.
