Before You Promise 99.9% Uptime, Do the Math
99.9% sounds reasonable in a meeting until you translate it into downtime budget, incident history, and the engineering work required to support it.
I've spent the last 5+ years building and operating cloud infrastructure — mostly on AWS, occasionally multi-cloud. Started out managing networks and Linux boxes, worked my way through cloud engineering, SRE, and now I lead infrastructure and platform operations at a fintech company in Jakarta.
Day-to-day, I run Kubernetes clusters, Terraform across multiple AWS accounts, CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions is my main thing), monitoring stacks, and the occasional 2am incident that turns into a really good post-mortem. I've led multi-weekend migration programs, built release processes with proper rollback gates, and spent a lot of time turning click-ops into code.
I care about reducing toil, writing things down so future-me doesn't suffer, and making sure deployments are boring in the best way possible. When something breaks, I like to understand why it broke, fix the root cause, and make sure it doesn't happen again.
Writing
Short essays on infrastructure, reliability, and the operational lessons that usually show up after the incident review.
99.9% sounds reasonable in a meeting until you translate it into downtime budget, incident history, and the engineering work required to support it.
Startups often ask for CI/CD, IaC, and zero-downtime deploys before they fund the ownership model required to keep those things working.
You don't need to memorize Kubernetes manifests or Ansible playbooks. You need to understand what you're building and know where to look when you forget the syntax.
Tools and technologies I use regularly. Not an exhaustive list — just the ones that matter.
How I got here, in reverse.
Fulk Tech
Leading infrastructure, CI/CD, and platform reliability for a multi-brand fintech operation. Managing Kubernetes and ECS workloads across 5+ AWS accounts, building Terraform foundations, designing GitHub Actions pipelines with OIDC, and running large-scale migration programs with structured rollback strategies. Got promoted from SRE after consistently driving reliability improvements.
MIFX (Monex Investindo Futures)
SRE on a multi-cloud fintech platform handling real-time trading transactions. Built monitoring infrastructure, wrote Terraform from scratch, managed Kubernetes workloads, and participated in multi-cloud migration sprints from AliCloud to AWS.
PT Maha Karya Perwira
Designed and managed cloud and hybrid infrastructure. Set up CI/CD with self-hosted GitLab and Nexus, ran cloud migrations with Ansible, and implemented DR solutions with S3.
PT Transformasi Mindset Indonesia
Where it all started. Managed network infrastructure, upgraded systems that improved data transfer speeds by ~40%, and learned that infrastructure is what I wanted to do.
