About.

I’ve worked across cloud infrastructure, security, and delivery for more than seven years. I’m now a Platform & Security Engineer at Spuree, an AI animation startup, working across the application and its cloud platform. At ViewSonic, I cut multi-region AWS CDK delivery from eight hours to one, built EKS and ArgoCD delivery workflows, and worked on the infrastructure for SOC 2 and CSA STAR readiness. Earlier at eCloudvalley, I moved from web development into cloud engineering and regional security architecture, and helped the team earn the AWS Level 1 MSSP Consulting Competency in APAC.

I also teach. I built the eCloudture eLearning platform, designed cloud training and workshops, and have spoken at CYBERSEC 2024/2026 and COSCUP 2026 — cloud security blind spots, CDK account takeover, AI-run kill chains. Teaching is how I check the work: if I can’t explain an architecture clearly, I probably haven’t understood it well enough.

This site is my workbench: writing, talks, courses, and experiments in progress.
