This is my personal site. It’s just a collection of random items that I’ve worked on or am currently working on. There’s really no need a for a website here but I know you people will Google search my email domain, so here you go. Have a read, enjoy!
Where to start. I’ve been on the Internet ever since modems were measured in baud. I’ve worked on Internet technologies from plain ole HTML to React. I’ve been around long enough to see WAP die, and apps start. I’ve moved along with technology, from bare metal servers to the cloud. It’s been a long journey and it’s not over yet.
I’ve worked in this field since DoubleClick was a thing. Now well into the RTB era, I’m still here. If you need a hand, gimme a ring.
I don’t just work in ad tech. I’ve built it. Web-scale web applications to handle billions of request per month.
Confused with all the new technologies coming out these days? I’m not. It’s my job to keep up to date on what’s going on.
Garpu, my old app. Helps you find good food and coffee in the Klang Valley (Malaysia). Now defunct, of course.
In 2015, we did a case study on our use of AWS to power our ad server.
The infrastructure described in the case study has since been superseded.
We’ve moved on to more serverless loads with event streams and ETL loading to data stores.
It’s out of date, but click on the title to read the case study.
