Hi, I'm Firmansyah Wicaksono 👋
I'm a Informatics Engineering graduate with solid foundation in Cloud Technology & DevOps to automate every process.
Bandung, Indonesia
Available for Cloud & DevOps projects — from engineering to architecture
About me
Here's a little bit about me:
I'm an enthusiastic, learner with a strong foundation in Cloud Computing, DevOps, and Site Reliability Engineering (SRE). I'm passionate about bridging the gap between development and operations, building scalable and reliable systems.
My journey began back in vocational high school, where I worked as an IT Support and grew curious about how cloud computing works. That curiosity led me to explore deeper — starting with the Bangkit Academy 2023, where I completed the Cloud Computing Learning Path focused on Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
Five months later, I joined the Fresh Graduate Academy with a focus on Cloud Architecting on AWS, further expanding my skills across different cloud ecosystems. Not long after, I began my professional journey as a DevOps Engineer intern at Rantangin, where I applied what I learned in real projects involving cloud and automation tools.
I'm highly motivated to learn, dedicated to problem-solving, and value team collaboration and constructive feedback as keys to growth.
When I'm not deep in Cloud or DevOps mode, you'll probably find me behind a drum set, exploring music gear, or staying active through cycling, badminton, swimming, or a good workout.
Finally, some quick bits about me.
