About Me

Hey, I’m Azmi

15+ years in infrastructure — from racking servers kat data centre sampai advising enterprise clients on AWS architecture, security, dan cost optimization. Currently Senior Engineer.

AWS Solutions Architect Professional certified. Day job: handle cloud infrastructure for global clients across APAC, US, UK, dan EMEA. Mostly around Atlassian applications (Jira, Confluence, Bitbucket) at Data Center scale — design, troubleshoot, optimize.

Lepas waktu kerja, aku tinkering dengan IoT — smart water pump, air quality sensors, battery monitors, home automation guna ESP8266/ESP12E. Site ni tempat aku document semua tu.

Currently exploring: GenAI applications (AWS Bedrock) & MCP servers for AI-assisted operations.
