Top SchoolChris Sng is a Senior Cloud Engineer with 13 years of experience designing and operating large-scale, cost-effective cloud and data platforms across AWS, GCP and Azure. He has rebuilt and scaled petabyte-capable data pipelines and containerized systems for organisations like Grab and Singapore’s Smart Nation initiatives, and now leads platform engineering at Woven by Toyota where his CI/CD and cloud landing zone work drives millions of job-minutes monthly. A pragmatic tech lead and mentor, Chris has repeatedly cut costs and improved developer velocity (e.g., 65% runtime cost reduction for a vehicle simulation team and ~$1.2M annual developer time savings through CI/CD re-architecture). He is a frequent contributor to the Terraform ecosystem—helping enhance GCP support in the popular magic-modules project and maintaining opinionated GKE IaC modules—bringing strong IaC and GitOps discipline to teams. His background in real-time analytics, geospatial systems and privacy-aware ML gives him a rare blend of data, infra and security-first thinking. Based in Tokyo, he thrives on technical challenges and translating complex engineering trade-offs into measurable business outcomes.
