As a member of the cross-divisional Cloud Engineering Team at GovTech, he works to improve Government Commercial Cloud and encourage the adoption of cloud native solutions and DevOps practices such as Infrastructure-as-Code. A polyglot programmer, he dabbles in everything, including Linux system administration, Docker containers and public key infrastructure systems.

In his role, Ernest designs the CI/CD workflows for Container Stack, a cloud-based container hosting platform, that are used internally and by other government agencies. These workflows make use of tools and methodologies like GitLab CI and GitOps. He works collaboratively with his stakeholders to set up seamless and automated pipelines and infrastructure for greater productivity and security.
