Hi, I'm Arpee Ong
DevOps Engineer
About Arpee.
I am passionate about deconstructing and learning how things work, and optimize and improve from that point, that is how I landed a technical lead DevOps role despite being initially hired as a software developer and having a totally unrelated educational background.
In all companies that I joined, I integrate the work to my lifestyle and make it a day-to-day responsbility, like a child-project that I own and religiously lookout for.
I love solving problems, and I am relentless while at it.
