Summary
Suan Kan is a Senior Platform Engineer based in Sydney with over a decade building and maturing cloud-native platforms for large enterprises and telcos. He combines hands-on DevOps, SRE and software engineering skills—spanning AWS, Azure, Kubernetes, CI/CD automation, and streaming platforms like Confluent Cloud—to deliver reliable, scalable infrastructure and API gateway solutions. Suan has repeatedly led migrations and platform automation projects (OpenLoyalty, Flybuys, IAG, CBA) and invented practical tooling such as autoscaling-group registration, tagging compliance reporters, and serverless GraphQL services. He’s comfortable navigating ambiguous requirements and promoting a “think-Platform” culture that raises engineering standards across teams. Notably, he blends deep operational experience with developer-facing work: infrastructure-as-code, pipeline-driven service registration, and mobile CI/CD automation. His background in applied mathematics and long tenure across cloud providers give him a methodical, systems-oriented approach to complex platform problems.
