Senior🎓
Top SchoolYap Kian is a Senior DevOps Engineer with 7 years of cross-disciplinary backend and reliability experience, currently based in New Taipei and working at WOO. He has moved between roles building production systems—from migrating high-throughput matching services in Go at Dcard to implementing Solana programs and Rust CLI tools for cross-chain transfers at Zeus Network. His SRE background includes building ECK clusters, modifying Traefik for sticky sessions, and architecting PCI-DSS compliant environments and large-scale logging pipelines ingesting terabytes per month. Comfortable across cloud platforms, Kubernetes, CI/CD (ArgoCD, Helm), and observability stacks, he holds CKA and CKAD certifications and a track record of pragmatic migrations (GCP→AWS, VM→LKE). A mechanical engineering graduate from University of Nottingham Malaysia, he blends engineering rigor with hands-on software craftsmanship and a knack for solving infrastructure challenges at the protocol level. Outside obvious ops work, he’s demonstrated blockchain systems fluency by shipping on-chain programs and explorer services, showing versatility across low-level and cloud-native domains.
