Hi, I’m Bui Minh Anh (Alex Bui) — an infrastructure engineer who builds automation-first cloud platforms for regulated, large-scale environments.

At Vietcombank, I design and build the foundations of the bank’s enterprise data and ML platform on AWS and Databricks: multi-account architecture, secure private networking, identity and access, Infrastructure-as-Code, CI/CD, and the governance and FinOps controls that keep it all accountable.

What I enjoy most is the part between people and systems — turning ambiguous requirements into measurable engineering criteria, and getting engineering teams, security, vendors, and leadership aligned on a technical strategy they can actually ship.

What I work on

  • Cloud platform architecture — AWS multi-account design, networking, and platform governance
  • Data & ML platforms — Databricks, Unity Catalog, MLflow, model serving
  • Automation — Terraform, Databricks Asset Bundles, GitLab CI/CD
  • Security & identity — Entra ID, AWS IAM, SSO/SCIM, RBAC
  • Cost & operations — FinOps, tagging and cost allocation, observability

Below is where I’ve been, with photos of the teams I’ve worked with along the way.

    Software Engineer — Cloud & Data Platform

    Vietcombank · Hanoi, Vietnam

    Designing and building the foundations of ODP, the bank's enterprise cloud data and ML platform on AWS and Databricks — from multi-account architecture and private networking to IaC, CI/CD, security, and cost governance, in a regulated environment.

    • AWS platform architecture: Multi-account structure, networking, security, and platform governance for the cloud data platform.
    • Databricks platform: Workspace architecture, Unity Catalog, compute, identity, access control, and environment separation on AWS.
    • Private connectivity: Secure links between enterprise networks, AWS, and Databricks using Direct Connect/VPN, Transit Gateway, Firewall, PrivateLink, VPC endpoints, and Route 53 hybrid DNS.
    • Identity & security: IAM roles and groups integrating Microsoft Entra ID with Databricks SSO/SCIM, service principals, RBAC, and secrets management.
    • IaC & CI/CD: Terraform and Databricks Asset Bundles for consistent deployments across environments, plus CI/CD standards for Python and ETL workloads.
    • Governance & FinOps: Compute policies, tagging, usage monitoring, and cost allocation to keep the platform efficient and accountable.
    • Working across teams: Aligning Data Engineering, Infrastructure, Security, Architecture, and external vendors on requirements, solution architecture, BOMs, and implementation plans.

    Coding Instructor

    Junior Engineers Tech Centre · Queensland, Australia

    Teaching kids to code, and a job I loved. Turning big ideas into small, hands-on steps that young learners could build on.

    • Weekly coding classes: Designed and delivered a weekly programming curriculum for groups of 15–20 students, using Scratch to build foundational coding concepts and computational thinking.
    • Arduino workshops: Created and led hands-on Arduino workshops for 15 students, combining electronics and programming to build working motorised vehicles.
