Top SchoolShaun Thium is an AVP in IT Risk Management with 11 years of hands-on experience bridging software engineering, DevOps and cybersecurity across public sector and consulting environments in Singapore. He began as a backend engineer and SRE, moved into DevOps and cloud infrastructure automation, and now focuses on Cloud Security, DevSecOps and application security at the intersection of multiple domains. Shaun has led large-scale Azure Terraform deployments for government clouds, architected multi‑CSP secure architectures, and driven “shift-left” security and zero-trust adoption through training and policy work. Comfortable both as a technical lead and consultant, he brings a practitioner’s depth—containerisation, Kubernetes, CI/CD and serverless—to risk and governance discussions. Colleagues describe him as someone who turns complex security requirements into practical, auditable implementations that scale across organisations.
