I like to solve things so I never hear about them again. # Philosophy Keeping things simple is not easy. Things do not "just work". Excellence does not come to you, you have to go to excellence. `Always wanted to travel back in time to try fighting a younger version of yourself? Software development is the career for you!` https://twitter.com/Loh/status/411282297816498176 # Media May 2020 https://blogs.cisco.com/cloud/simplifying-the-devops-and-netops-journey-using-cisco-sd-wan-cloud-hub-with-google-cloud July 2016 https://medium.com/flatiron-engineering/devnetsecops-95d1c7b030dc Mar 2016 https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/aws/flatiron-health-using-aws-to-help-improve-cancer-treatment/ Sep 2015 https://medium.com/aws-activate-startup-blog/architecting-your-healthcare-application-for-hipaa-compliance-part-1-f3fbd11bd64d Sep 2015 http://dataconomy.com/alex-lo-of-flatiron-health-on-data-corralling/ # OSS Small time contributor to Ansible and other projects
