Head, Platforms Engineering at AI Singapore
I build AI platforms and write about what actually works: delivery over theory, ownership over hype, systems that hold up when the demo is over.
I lead Platforms Engineering at AI Singapore, where my team supports multiple engineering teams across AI projects, infrastructure, and programme delivery. We run hybrid on-prem and multi-cloud (Azure, GCP), manage GPU/HPC capacity, and build the MLOps and data platform foundations that make AI projects repeatable.
Before AI Singapore, I co-founded two companies (both acquired), led engineering at Platform Computing and Revolution Analytics (acquired by Microsoft), and served as a Scientific Advisor on national HPC resource allocation. 25+ years of building platforms, shipping systems, and learning what breaks.
Leads a 10-person platform org (InfraOps, DataOps, MLOps, Experiences) supporting 7+ engineering teams across national AI programmes.
Co-founded an HPC/cluster startup. Built production Linux clusters for enterprise and research. Acquired by Platform Computing.
Led cloud engineering for R analytics platform. Co-architected RevoCloudR on AWS and OpenStack.
Shipping Kapitan Orchard (sovereign LLM platform on Apple Silicon), preparing AI Singapore's infrastructure move to NTU, and writing about what works in AI platform engineering.
