Fikri Iqbal is a DevOps engineer with 10 years of experience specializing in modernizing legacy infra and streamlining developer workflows. Based in Bandung, he led Universitas Padjadjaran’s shift to a self-managed GitLab VCS and Rancher-backed Kubernetes, migrating 90% of legacy code and decoupling apps from infrastructure to enable modern stacks like Next.js and Go. He has hands-on cloud and on-prem experience—designing GitOps pipelines, executing partner cloud migrations, introducing MinIO, ELK, SonarQube and Sentry for centralized observability, and cutting bandwidth and DDoS exposure via CDN. Fikri emphasizes data-driven capacity planning and production metrics to diagnose bottlenecks and reduce blind spots in VMware and Kubernetes environments. Known for pragmatic, measurable impact (e.g., 8TB/month bandwidth savings and 30% application coverage in Sentry), he blends backend development roots with infrastructure automation to make platforms reliable and developer-friendly.
