Over the last 8+ years at DBS Bank, I have been building and modernizing enterprise-scale banking and payment platforms that power critical business functions across APIs, merchant payments, cross-border payments, and transaction processing. My experience spans Channels and Payment systems, with a strong focus on reliability, scalability, and operational excellence. I specialize in Java, Spring Boot, Microservices, Cloud-Native Architectures, OpenShift, AWS, API Platforms, and Banking Payments. I have contributed to strategic initiatives including ISO 20022 adoption, CBPR+ migration, and PCF-to-OpenShift modernization, helping drive the evolution of enterprise payment ecosystems. Beyond application development, I am passionate about solving engineering challenges through automation and AI. I have built AI-powered solutions for log analysis, OpenShift automation, and engineering productivity, earning recognition through multiple innovation and GenAI hackathon wins. What excites me most is combining deep banking domain knowledge with emerging technologies to create solutions that improve developer productivity, strengthen platform resilience, and accelerate business innovation. I enjoy leading initiatives, mentoring teams, driving cross-functional collaboration, and turning complex problems into scalable solutions.
