Welcome to my personal corner of the internet! I’m Dizi, a Cloud Engineer at Philip Morris International, an endurance runner, and an avid explorer documenting what I build and learn.
This space is my digital garden—a living collection of engineering architecture decisions, system tradeoffs, book summaries, personal reflections, and learning notes that grow and evolve over time.
⚡ What I’m Focused On Right Now (/now)
- 🏗️ Cloud Infrastructure & SRE: Designing resilient distributed systems, Kubernetes platforms, and infrastructure automation pipelines.
- 🚀 Systems Building: Developing Automated Trading Bot (async MT5 trading engine) and IDX Stock Intelligence (Indonesian market NLP & signal platform).
- 🎓 Study & Life Goals: Preparing for advanced studies (ETH Zurich Master in Computer Science).
- 📝 Personal Writing: Raw reflections on career and purpose (#1 - After Graduation Icks and Hicks).
- 📈 Exploring Finance & Markets: Deep-diving into stock/ETF valuation, trading mechanics, and financial modeling as a curious learner.
- 🏃 Running & Endurance: Training consistently, building aerobic base, and embracing the discipline of long-distance running.

🛠️ Engineering Philosophy
- Architecture: Pragmatic, resilient, and tradeoff-aware. Every design choice has a “why”.
- Systems: Non-blocking (
asyncio), strictly typed, and automated from the ground up. - Knowledge: Brain-first, transparent, connected through bi-directional links, cultivated with Quartz 5.
