// Software / DevOps Engineer

Derek Chen

I build the bridge between edge systems and the cloud across three industries. From automotive computer vision (3D AVM, ADAS) to autonomous-fleet cloud platforms to firmware CI/CD and DevSecOps, the through-line stays the same: take messy edge systems (cars, routers, sensors) and make them observable, secure, and shippable at scale.

Experience

Apr 2026 – Present New Taipei

DevOps / Cloud Infrastructure Senior Engineer · AncillaryPower

On-prem → GCP, in production
Zero-cold-start rollback · 100% reproducible
Alerts consolidated to 4 channels

Led the migration of a mission-critical platform from on-premises to GCP, implementing Terraform-based infrastructure management and a scalable architecture with capacity planning to support production growth.
Built zero-downtime CI/CD pipelines with canary deployments and reproducible release management, improving deployment reliability and operational efficiency.
Implemented DevSecOps practices through integrated security scanning, private networking, secret management, and application-layer authentication.
Established unified monitoring and alerting, cross-cloud disaster recovery, and database backup strategies that improved platform resilience while reducing cloud operating costs.
Deploy cloud platform services with Docker.

Senior Software Engineer · Moxa

9 routers · 5 series
Issues caught 7 days earlier
Coverity + Nessus in CI

Designed and managed scalable GitLab CI pipelines for 9 router products across 5 series, ensuring build consistency and reproducibility across hardware architectures.
Automated build and integration workflows, surfacing integration issues up to 7 days earlier than the manual process.
Introduced Shift-Left Security: integrated Coverity and Nessus into daily CI to detect vulnerabilities early without slowing development.
Built internal automation tools in Python / Shell and stable VM + network test environments for continuous automated testing.
Built containerized network testing framework (pytest/scapy + Docker) integrated with GitLab CI for automated router firmware validation.

Principal Engineer · TURING DRIVE

13 autonomous vehicles · 4 types
Patent · sole inventor
Edge↔cloud sub-second latency

Granted invention patent (sole inventor), Traffic Signal Recognition System and Method, TWI844132B: fuses GPS, HD maps, vision recognition and multi-layer AI decisioning to improve traffic-signal recognition accuracy and reduce misjudgements.
Built a Vehicle Monitoring System on AWS (EC2 / S3 / Lambda) from scratch, integrating 13 autonomous vehicles (4 types) for real-time tracking and remote control.
Founded and led the Cloud Operations Team, establishing development workflows, ops standards, and engineer mentorship.
Integrated edge (ROS / Autoware) with cloud services over MQTT for sub-second-latency real-time fleet management.
Served as technical lead for government autonomous-driving projects, coordinating algorithm, embedded, and cloud teams to deliver reliably.
Led full-stack development of the Smart Golf Cart and Passenger Information System (PIDS), pairing self-driving algorithms with intuitive interfaces.
