- Commanded a PROD tech-refresh live event end-to-end, coordinating 6 cross-functional teams with zero production defects and zero rollbacks.
- Cut infrastructure costs by SGD 4,000/month through server right-sizing, automated start/stop schedules, and decommissioning redundant resources.
- Received formal client appreciation for measurably improving environment stability and security posture across all 13 environments.
