Summary
Alan Chen is a Senior DevOps Engineer based in New Taipei with 13 years of experience modernizing build and delivery pipelines across cloud and on-prem platforms. He specializes in pragmatic, multidimensional integrations—containerizing complex Windows and Linux build flows, adopting CNCF projects, and modularizing Terraform and Helm to tame large Kubernetes fleets. Alan favors practical engineering over theoretical algorithms, driving incremental change that avoids accumulating tech debt while improving observability with Prometheus/Grafana and custom alerting. His background spans OpenStack automation, CI/CD migrations (Gerrit, GitLab, Jenkins, Zuul), and hands-on reductions in infrastructure footprint through automation and autoscaling. Colleagues rely on him to turn fragmented toolchains into repeatable, auditable pipelines that scale with business needs.
