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, building towards Solutions Architect.

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.
