Dizi's Knowledge Space

Welcome to my personal corner of the internet! I’m Dizi, a Cloud Engineer at Philip Morris International, a runner, and an avid explorer documenting what I build and learn.

This space is my digital garden—a living collection of engineering architecture decisions, system tradeoffs, book summaries, personal reflections, and learning notes that grow and evolve over time.

⚡ What I’m Focused On Right Now (/now)

• 🏗️ Cloud Infrastructure & SRE: Designing resilient distributed systems, Kubernetes platforms, and infrastructure automation pipelines.
• 🚀 Systems Building: Developing Automated Trading Bot (async MT5 trading engine) and IDX Stock Intelligence (Indonesian market NLP & signal platform).
• 🎓 Study & Life Goals: Preparing for advanced studies (ETH Zurich Master in Computer Science).
• 📝 Personal Writing: Raw reflections on career and purpose (#1 - After Graduation Icks and Hicks).
• 📈 Exploring Finance & Markets: Deep-diving into stock/ETF valuation, trading mechanics, and financial modeling as a curious learner.
• 🏃 Running & Endurance: Training consistently, building aerobic base, and embracing the discipline of long-distance running.

• 🚀 Projects — Deep dives into active systems, architecture breakdowns, and build logs.
• 🧠 Technical Notes — My forte: Architecture decisions, systems design, tradeoff rationales, and cloud engineering playbooks.
• 📚 Literature & Reading — Highlights from books (like Laut Bercerita), technical papers, and reading notes.
• 🏃 Miscellaneous & Journal — Non-technical life: Personal Diary, ETH Master Prep, running logs, and finance explorations.

🛠️ Engineering Philosophy

• Architecture: Pragmatic, resilient, and tradeoff-aware. Every design choice has a “why”.
• Systems: Non-blocking (asyncio), strictly typed, and automated from the ground up.
• Knowledge: Brain-first, transparent, connected through bi-directional links, powered by Quartz 4.
