About
Operations experience with an engineering bias.
Positioned for senior data center operations, AI infrastructure, and infrastructure automation roles.
I am an infrastructure engineer with hands-on experience across data center operations, bare-metal deployment, private cloud delivery, Linux systems, virtualization, storage, networking, and automation. My strength is turning messy real-world infrastructure operations into repeatable engineering systems. I currently serve as the on-site operations owner for a K4-level data center project in Johor, Malaysia, coordinating deployment, daily operations, incident response, vendors, contractors, and internal engineering teams.
