Summary
Data-centre engineer with 9 years operating and building critical power and cooling for colocation and hyperscale sites in Singapore and Malaysia. I run electrical and mechanical plant from 22 kV intake through UPS, generators and switchgear to chillers, CRAHs and liquid cooling, lead maintenance under method statements and change control and commission new data halls. I have kept 100% uptime on my sites for six years while bringing PUE down in a tropical climate.
Experience
- Operate 2 sites totalling 48 MW IT load: 22 kV substations, 36 UPS modules, 28 diesel generators, chilled-water plant and rear-door cooling
- Cut PUE from 1.58 to 1.34 with chilled-water reset, containment and free-cooling economisers; saved SGD 4.2m a year in energy
- Commissioned a 9 MW data hall with direct-to-chip liquid cooling for AI clusters, running IST and Level 5 tests with the contractor
- Ran shift operations, alarm response and preventive maintenance under method statements and permits to work
- Built the site's first CMMS asset register (3,400 assets) and failure-trend reports
