SRE · Observability · Cloud Infrastructure
Now I build reliable systems so more people can stay online.
Electrical engineer turned SRE. I instrument distributed systems, reduce alert noise, and design observability workflows engineers can trust under pressure.

Focus areas
Why teams bring me in
I consolidate fragmented telemetry, tune alerting, and build workflows that make incident response faster when the pressure is highest.
The result is less context-switching, fewer blind spots, and observability systems engineers can actually trust in production.

About
I'm Avecena, an Electrical Engineer from Universitas Indonesia who somehow ended up obsessed with making cloud systems reliable and observable. The transition from debugging microcontrollers to instrumenting distributed systems felt natural. The same instinct that makes you add a serial monitor to an Arduino makes you instrument an API endpoint.
Outside of work I'm lifting at the gym, on the minisoccer or football pitch on weekends, and occasionally getting humbled by Dota 2. I think being a team sport person shapes how I work too. Observability is fundamentally a team problem. It only works if everyone on the team can see what's happening, not just the person who built the dashboard.
Right now I'm looking for an SRE role where I can go deep on reliability engineering, incident response, and building observability that engineers actually use. Jakarta based. Open to remote and relocation.
Writing
I write about what I build. If something took me a while to figure out, I document it.
Currently Building
Always building something. Here's what's in progress right now.
New Relic NPM Showcase
Docker-based network observability demo, article in progress for Medium.
chatbot-nutanix
RAG chatbot on Nutanix Kubernetes Platform using PostgreSQL/pgvector and Qwen.
observability-as-code
Terraform toolkit for production-grade New Relic stack, actively maintained and open source.
Experience
The instinct to understand how systems behave did not.
PT Berca Hardayaperkasa
Mar 2024 – Present
Technical Product Specialist
End-to-end observability for 76+ enterprise clients across fintech, telecoms, government, and ecommerce — from requirements and architecture through instrumentation, alert tuning, and production validation.
Achieved 97% technical evaluation score on a Rp 10B Nutanix Kubernetes Platform tender, outperforming all competing vendors by 7 to 10 percent through end-to-end architecture design and presentation.
Deployed New Relic APM, Infrastructure Monitoring, and distributed tracing across production Kubernetes environments, instrumenting microservices with OpenTelemetry for trace-log-metric correlation.
Defined SLIs and golden signal alert thresholds that reduced on-call alert noise and improved signal accuracy across multiple client environments.
PT Kairos Utama Indonesia
Apr 2023 – Mar 2024
Junior Systems Engineer
Before specializing in observability, I was the person called when everything broke. I managed 50+ VMs across Microsoft enterprise environments under 24/7 SLA.
Led incident response during a ransomware attack on a financial sector client, rebuilding the entire email infrastructure from scratch within 72 hours through cold backup restoration.
Executed Disaster Recovery drills and validated RTO and RPO compliance across production environments for enterprise clients.
Covent Indonesia
Apr 2022 – Apr 2023
Embedded Systems Engineer
The same instincts that make good firmware engineers make good SRE engineers: if it can fail silently, it will. At Covent, that meant Watchdog Timers and Fail-Safe mechanisms in safety-critical medical firmware. In SRE, it means instrumentation and alerting before incidents happen.
Engineered patented production-grade firmware for a safety-critical medical device in C/C++, implementing Watchdog Timers and Fail-Safe mechanisms.
Conducted hardware-level debugging using oscilloscopes and logic analyzers to ensure strict medical device safety compliance.
Laboratorium Elektronika FTUI
Aug 2021 – Jan 2023
Electronics Laboratory Assistant
Made complex embedded systems concepts understandable to the next generation of engineers.
Designed practicum modules covering 10 key topics in embedded systems and microcontroller programming.
Mentored 50+ undergraduate students per semester in hands-on hardware troubleshooting and lab work.

Let's talk
I'm currently open to SRE and cloud infrastructure roles. If your team is dealing with alert noise, slow root cause analysis, or monitoring that nobody trusts, I'd like to hear about it.
No commitment. Just a conversation.
