Working together
3 questions
1What do you actually do?
Network & infrastructure engineering (Linux, MikroTik, BGP, virtualization), cloud/platform backend (Go, PostgreSQL, Redis, APIs), and founding Kilat Cloud. I also build web apps when the product needs it.
2What is Kilat Cloud?
Kilat Cloud (PT Kilat Cloud Indonesia) is the cloud infrastructure platform I founded — compute, networking, object/block storage, billing, wallet, and automated provisioning with a customer console and admin platform.
3How many servers have you managed?
40+ enterprise and dedicated Linux servers in production at SANAK CYBER, plus virtualization (Proxmox, ESXi), MikroTik networking, and out-of-band hardware management (iDRAC, iLO).
4What's your typical timeline for a project?
Infrastructure engagements range from days (storage migration, audit) to ongoing retainers. Web/platform builds: 3–10 weeks depending on scope. I give a clear estimate after the first call.
5What stack do you use?
Networking: MikroTik, BGP/OSPF, VPN. Infra: Linux, Proxmox, Docker, Terraform. Backend: Go (Fiber/Gin), Node, PostgreSQL, Redis. Frontend: React, Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind. Cloud: Cloudflare, S3-compatible storage.
6Do you work remotely?
Yes — based in Batam, Indonesia, with async updates and scheduled calls for most timezones.
7Can you work with my existing team?
Absolutely. I plug into Git flow, PR reviews, and standups — embedded contractor or solo owner of an entire build.
8How do you price projects?
Fixed price for well-scoped work, day/sprint rates for exploratory or infrastructure work. Written estimate before anything starts; change requests quoted separately.
9Do you handle deployment and hosting?
Yes — Nginx, Docker, Vercel/Cloudflare for apps; Proxmox/Linux for servers; CI so future pushes deploy automatically.
10What's your education background?
SMK PGRI 2 Wonogiri — Teknik Komputer dan Jaringan (TKJ), graduated 2024. Everything else has been hands-on: NOC, sysadmin, freelance, and building Kilat Cloud.
11Where are you based?
Batam, Kepulauan Riau, Indonesia. Origin: Ngadirojo, Wonogiri. Born: Surakarta, 1 January 2005.
12Are you available for new work?
Open to infrastructure, platform, and backend engagements that fit — especially cloud, networking, and production systems. Use the contact page and include goals, timeline, and budget range.
