Platform Engineer @ HSBC

I have been working with the European Union engineering team to ensure that HSBC Payme's service meets the security and compliance requirements of the European Union. To achieve this, I have been building the system and cloud resources using Infrastructure as Code (IaaC) with a focus on minimizing the use of ClickOps. I have also had hands-on experience setting up and debugging the k8s infrastructure on a cloud platform. In addition, I have designed and coded an automated rotation mechanism for all critical secrets to enhance the security of the system.

DevOps Engineer @ Ceevo

I assisted Ceevo in conducting a migration from Rancher 1.6 to Kubernetes and set up a pipeline to automatically build previews of the frontend for QA testing. Additionally, I helped standardize the Gitflow process within the company. These efforts helped improve the efficiency and effectiveness of Ceevo's development processes.

Sr. Software Engineer - DevOps @ SandboxVR

I helped SandboxVR migrate their local deployment to Google Cloud and contributed to both frontend and backend projects by coding and reviewing code. I also designed a new micro-service and set up a Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment (CI/CD) process for both new and existing projects. These efforts helped improve the efficiency and scalability of SandboxVR's development and deployment processes.

I was responsible for implementing the codebase for the CEO's coding project and supervised the tasks of contractors. I also designed technical requirements for various projects and automated the Continuous Deployment/Continuous Integration (CD/CI) process for the iOS/Android application, which was previously done manually. Additionally, I oversaw the migration of the project to Azure Kubernetes Service. These efforts helped improve the efficiency and effectiveness of the coding project and the overall development process.

2017 FEB - 2018 NOV

Software Engineer Backend ( Public API ) @ Lalamove

I worked on improving the code coverage for unit tests in existing projects and collaborated closely with enterprise users to onboard the API service. I also dockerized and deployed the existing service to AWS EKS and coded an internal invoice service with i18n (internationalization) support. These efforts helped improve the reliability and maintainability of the projects and services.
