Educator · Industry Practitioner · Writer

I am Peng Bin, a software engineering educator and university Principal Lecturer. Before moving into education, I spent more than 20 years in the software industry, working in technical and leadership roles across the public and private sectors.

I help university students and working professionals understand and apply modern software and AI engineering practices. I teach and write about software systems, DevOps, cloud computing, AI engineering, and developer tools. My goal is to make complex technology clear, practical, and useful.
