What our consultants say
Bryan Leong
DevOps Engineer
National University of Singapore
Now on-site as a DevOps Engineer, my position fundamentally increases value by improving efficiency and security, building CI/CD pipelines, various automations, and sharing best practices. I was very fortunate to be part of a large important project from its early stages, which is still ongoing. We are building a one-stop platform for model development, validation, and monitoring. I am lucky to be here in the team I’m in with great friends, mentors and an atmosphere that is very supportive of our learning; but I’ll never forget where it all started!
