Kern Sim is a Senior DevSecOps and cloud infrastructure leader with 11 years’ experience helping regulated and high-availability businesses move to secure, cloud-native operations from Singapore. He has led major initiatives at Binance and Sephora SEA—designing zero-trust infrastructure, containerizing critical workloads with Kubernetes/ECS, and building monitoring, IaC and governance frameworks that supported PCI-DSS, ISO 27001 and SOC 2 audits. Kern combines hands-on platform engineering (Terraform, Prometheus/Grafana, EKS/Rancher) with regulatory tech-compliance and licensing experience, growing small teams to operationalize security and incident response. He’s pragmatic about developer enablement, having built template repos, CI/CD patterns and ChatOps alerting to accelerate delivery while enforcing security baselines. An uncommon thread in his career is translating business and regulatory needs into technical policies that scale across regions—evident in multi-jurisdiction card services and travel-rule work. He’s motivated by empowering teams to be independently effective through tooling, governance and community-building.
