Doni Putra Purbawa
AI Enthusiast | Cloud Architect & Senior Backend Engineer
I'm an AI enthusiast exploring the research, products, and industry shifts shaping how we live and work. In my journal, I share accessible explanations and practical perspectives grounded in my engineering experience.
I'm a hands-on Cloud Architect and backend engineering manager with 6+ years building production systems for a Japanese SaaS company. My expertise spans AWS infrastructure, fintech payment platforms, microservices architecture, and AI-powered application backends. I care about correctness, reliability, and shipping systems that teams can operate with confidence.
Engineering Philosophy
Good cloud architecture is quiet — your users never think about the networks, databases, deployments, and observability keeping their products available. That reliability is the goal.
I approach every system with three questions: Is it secure? Is it observable? Can someone else maintain it in six months? The answer to all three should be yes before anything goes to production.
I believe in simple solutions to complex problems, strong code review culture, incident postmortems without blame, and continuous investment in developer tooling and deployment confidence.
