Summary
Jia Loh is a hands-on engineering leader and tech lead based in Singapore with over 10 years of experience building large-scale ML and data platforms at Grab. She has led teams across ML platform, experimentation, and SRE, pioneering real-time streaming solutions with Flink and deploying high-performance Rust gRPC microservices that halved resource use while serving up to 15k QPS. Comfortable moving between org-level ownership and deep technical execution, she introduced GitOps practices (ArgoCD) to SRE workflows and drove feature stores, model serving, and observability for production ML. Her background in geophysics and offshore HPC gives her a strong foundation in signal processing and distributed systems, which she now applies to fighting fraud with low-latency systems. An evangelist for Rust in Southeast Asia, she blends systems-level performance optimization with pragmatic platform-building for safety-critical applications.
