Ricky Alexander Hermanto is the name. I enjoy writing ever since I was young, let it be in an artistic form or casual writings, I always have time to jot some things down.
Some call me Ricky or Alex, some colleagues call me with my acronim name Rilex (read: Ree-lax). I find it useful to identify which person belongs to which part of my life (or circle) based on how they call me.
Been in the tech industry since 2010 as a programmer, later worked as other roles within conventional and startup companies, then somehow found my way enjoying the SRE/Platform Engineer role for nearly 5 years. Some of my skills are highlighted below :
- Kubernetes & Docker containers
- Elastic stack (Elasticsearch, Logstash and Kibana)
- Monitoring
- Enterprise solutions : Datadog, Sentry, New Relic
- Opensource solutions : Opentelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana
- CI/CD Pipelines (ArgoCD, Gitlab CI, Jenkins, Chef)
- IaC (Terraform and Ansible)
- Cloud Platforms (GCP, AWS and Digital Ocean)
Outside of work I enjoy these meticulous activities :
- Cooking and Baking
- Tasting Coffee
- Building Aquascapes
- Playing Video Games
- Travelling and Photography
