ProjectsAbout Me
Get to know me!
Hi, my name is Hansen and I am a Solutions Architect currently at DBS Bank as a Management Associate.
I hold a Bachelor of Science in Information Systems from Singapore Management University (majoring in Digitalisation & Cloud Solutions and Cyber Security) and a Diploma in Cyber Security & Forensics from Nanyang Polytechnic. My background bridges software engineering, cloud infrastructure, and risk governance.
Over the past few years, I’ve delivered solutions across diverse environments: driving cloud FinOps and API platform evaluations at the CPF Board, delivering public-sector system features at Accenture, and directing IT infrastructure and data protection compliance as CIO and DPO at OurCodeLab. I hold industry certifications in AWS (Solutions Architect, CloudOps) and Cybersecurity (CEH, CHFI, ISC2 CC).
Beyond enterprise systems, I am deeply committed to the student tech community through SMU .Hack where I served as Honorary Finance Secretary as well as Professional Development Director. In my downtime, I unwind with gaming and experimenting with new developer tools.
I believe that you should never stop growing and that's what I strive to do, I have a passion for technology and a desire to always push the limits of what is possible. I am excited to see where my career takes me and am always open to new opportunities. 🙂
