About Me

Computer Engineering Graduate
(GPA 3.75/4.00, Universitas Diponegoro)

I am an infrastructure engineer with deep hands-on experience designing and operating IT systems across virtualization, network security, and observability. I take pride in building self-hosted architectures that replace bloated public cloud dependencies, achieving tremendous cost reductions while ensuring top-tier reliability.

Backed by 7 years of IT support experience and direct instruction for over 150 students in Cisco networking labs, my approach to infrastructure is heavily focused on long-term operational efficiency, zero-downtime deployments, and least-privilege security controls.
