AI Engineer · DevOps / SRE

····Taipei / Tainan

13 years of cloud / DevOps / SRE foundations, recently focused on AI / agentic engineering — self-hosting an AI platform, building Claude Code skills and agentic workflows, and knowledge-base automation — bringing AI into production and operations on the back of deep AWS operations and automation experience.

Impact Highlights

  • Led the team coding-agent toolchain, shipping 5 shared skills (adopted org-wide in DevOps, bw rolling out to the Tech team)
  • Self-hosted / open-weight LLM inference evaluation (open-weight MoE on AWS GPU EC2) + an LLM-as-judge eval loop (film-brain nDCG@5 0.93 → 0.96)
  • Sole owner of the GitLab → Gitea migration: hundreds of repos, the whole engineering org, < 2h off-peak cutover
  • Cloud cost optimization: EC2 RIs / Fargate Spot ~20% each, MediaLive Reservations ~50%

AI / Agentic Engineering

  • Built a knowledge-base automation pipeline (raw → digest → semantic search / NotebookLM) integrated with Jira / Notion; shared HITL practices publicly and open-sourced the ai-kb methodology
  • Self-host and operate an AI platform (OpenClaw on VPS), bringing agentic workflows into production operations
  • Business foundation × AI-agent governance: a management lens on multi-agent orchestration and ops decisions — guardrails ≈ accountability controls, scoped authorization ≈ delegation, harness / loop ≈ organizational design

Experience

Staff DevOps Engineer · CATCHPLAY @@ 2024.04 – Present

  • Led the team's coding-agent toolchain (command → plugin → skill), shipping reusable knowledge-base and account & secrets management skills; co-built an EKS reference environment with AI-assisted guardrails (pre-commit secret scan, PR gates, layered secret scanning); member of the ai-squad (a Tech-Lead-formed AI initiative)
  • Sole owner of the GitLab → Gitea migration (hundreds of repos, the whole engineering org, < 2h off-peak cutover); built Vaultwarden and rolled out Bitwarden; evaluated and adopted Bruno to replace Postman
  • Built a multi-channel event-driven FAST monitoring platform (CloudWatch → SNS → Lambda → Slack / LINE, alert heatmaps, automated weekly reports, Terraform IaC); integrated AWS Elemental (MediaLive / MediaPackage / MediaTailor, DRM, Global Accelerator, SPEKE, IVS)
  • Built reusable Serverless Lambda Terraform modules and Jenkins automation; developed Geo-block deployment automation in Go
  • Re-architected the data layer: Aurora read replicas, MySQL / PostgreSQL parallel operation, RDS Proxy (absorbing bursts of thousands of simultaneous connections), Redis 5 → Valkey 7 upgrade (cost + EOL); led the Airflow 1.x → 2.0 upgrade (UAT + Production, many DAGs); built a DynamoDB monitoring dashboard + DevOps Guru
  • Multi-cloud governance and security: GCP permission tightening and API-key cleanup; AI-assisted DRM / WAF / CVE audits; Akamai LDS → DataStream 2 IaC; audited and cleaned up idle EC2 snapshots; client-project environments and CDN network allowlists
  • Used SQS for a major telco partner's high-volume orders; evaluated and rolled out AWS Bedrock, Secrets Manager, and Personalize; designed S3 + NAS hybrid storage and Akamai IaC CDN automation

Senior SRE Engineer · TrendMicro @@ 2021.09 – 2024.03
