Engineer from Jakarta. I make complicated systems feel calm.

01 Hello

Good infrastructure is like good paper: you only notice it when it's missing.

I'm Stanley, an engineer from Jakarta who fell for the unglamorous parts of software: the networks, clusters and pipelines everything else stands on.

I began in a university lab, keeping servers alive and learning GitOps by breaking things. From there I moved to ByteDance, where I helped build an internal developer platform in Go. These days I work with enterprises across Southeast Asia and beyond, helping them shape cloud, data and AI platforms that are sturdy and worth the money.

I enjoy the moment a complicated system becomes simple to use, and I like explaining how it got there.

02 Selected projects

A few things I've built and the thinking behind them.

01 Internal platform · ByteDance · 2023–2025

An internal developer platform, written in Go

Shipping an application used to mean stitching together a dozen tools and tickets. I helped build a single platform that handles an app's whole lifecycle.

The problem
Fragmented tooling slowed teams and made every deployment a small project.
What I did
Built the platform's services in Golang, backed by Terraform for cloud resources and Ansible for configuration.
Outcome
A smoother workflow for developers and far less manual infrastructure work.
  • Golang
  • Terraform
  • Ansible
  • Linux

02 Networking · ByteDance · 2023–2025

Bridging a private cloud and Google Cloud

Two clouds are only useful together if traffic crosses between them safely and predictably.

The problem
Services in a private cloud needed secure, controlled paths to workloads on GCP.
What I did
Automated ingress and egress connectivity with Nginx, and tied it into ticket-driven provisioning.
Outcome
Manual provisioning fell by 70%, and requests became repeatable instead of bespoke.
  • Nginx
  • GCP
  • Consul

03 GitOps · Binus University · 2021–2023

GitOps delivery for a university lab

My first real platform: turning a lab's hand-run deployments into a Git-driven pipeline.

The problem
Releases were slow and manual, and the lab's services needed to stay up.
What I did
Led a Jenkins and ArgoCD workflow, proposed a highly available Kubernetes design, and put HAProxy with Keepalived in front.
Outcome
Deployments got 50% faster and we released twice as often.
  • ArgoCD
  • Jenkins
  • Kubernetes
  • HAProxy

04 Kubernetes · Lacak.io · 2023

A 15-node cluster on bare metal

Not everything belongs in the cloud. I designed and ran an on-premises Kubernetes environment from the ground up.

The problem
A growing team needed consistent deployments, certificates and a secure place for container images.
What I did
Wired up Jenkins and ArgoCD, automated TLS with cert-manager and Route 53, and self-hosted Harbor with vulnerability scanning.
Outcome
One standard way of working across development and operations.
  • Kubernetes
  • Harbor
  • cert-manager

03 Journey

  1. 2026 – now

    Solution Lead, Tridorian

    Now I lead cloud, AI and data conversations for Indonesia, from the first workshop to a handover. Most of the job is listening, then translating a business need into an architecture people can trust.

  2. 2025

    Senior Solutions Architect, Tridorian

    I moved from building platforms to designing them for others across GCP, AWS and Azure, and helped win the company's first managed-services engagement within my first month.

  3. 2023 – 2025

    Infrastructure Engineer, ByteDance

    Two years of scale, in Go, Terraform and Ansible, and my best education in running production systems.

  4. 2023

    DevOps Engineer, Lacak.io

    A short, intense chapter standardising how a team builds and deploys on Kubernetes.

  5. 2021 – 2023

    Network admin & DevOps, Binus University

    Where it started. I studied Computer Science there (B.Sc. and M.Sc.) while running the lab's infrastructure.
