About Me

I run two companies — Kesatria Awan (managed IT services & cloud solutions) and Inframesia (IT training & consulting). Together, we help businesses modernize their infrastructure, adopt cloud & DevOps, and build teams that can sustain growth.

If you're looking for a technology partner to solve infrastructure challenges, migrate to the cloud, or upskill your team — let's talk. I've spent 10+ years helping organizations of all sizes get there.

I also give back to the community through Infratify (500+ students), Nota Infra (2,500+ subscribers), and DevOps bootcamps — all in Bahasa Melayu — because I believe everyone deserves access to quality IT education.
