About

I’m Aiden, a site reliability engineer at YTL AI Labs. I work on the infrastructure side of Malaysia’s sovereign AI platform.

I came in through cybersecurity: CTFs, a homelab full of SIEMs, and a security internship at Grab. These days I care more about keeping systems up than breaking into them. The goal is Google SRE, one day.
