I’m a Cloud Architect and hands-on technologist with 5 years delivering Data and AI solutions across AWS, GCP, and Azure for enterprise clients in Singapore and the region. I bridge business and technology — running requirements workshops, authoring SOWs, translating stakeholder needs into solution designs, and driving delivery from pre-sales through production. I thrive in multi-cloud, client-facing environments and am comfortable switching between whiteboard sessions and a terminal. Across my recent engagements, I’ve led GenAI platform PoCs, architected regulatory-grade data lakes, and steered complex cloud migrations for Financial Services, Real Estate, Education, Telecommunications, and Government sectors. I’ve secured AWS funding, guided multi-month deal cycles, and built autonomous AI operations and cost-guarded GenAI platforms. My focus is on scalable architectures, automation, and cost optimisation delivered through a full engagement lifecycle from discovery to production handover.
