Ben Poh

Formerly an architect of physical buildings, I'm now transitioning into being a cloud architect for infrastructure - because why build one building at a time when you can impact a much larger group of people through technology?

I'm working as a Cloud Engineer with Moula, where my Azure, Kubernetes, and Terraform skillset is being put to good use.
