I'm a Senior DevOps/SRE Engineer with over 10 years managing high-traffic distributed systems, and a professional trader with consistent income from stocks, crypto, and Indonesian equities. DevToCash is where I publish what I actually do — real configs, real trades, real numbers. No courses. No hype.
My Background
I started my career as a systems engineer and moved into DevOps/SRE as containerization took over. Over the past decade I've managed Kubernetes clusters serving millions of requests per second, built zero-downtime deployment pipelines, and led incident response for platforms where every minute of downtime cost thousands of dollars.
On the trading side, I started seriously in crypto during 2019, moved into Indonesian stocks (IHSG/IDX) and eventually US equities. What made the difference was applying engineering discipline to trading — position sizing formulas, systematic entry rules, and strict risk management. I don't gamble; I execute systems.
The intersection of tech and finance is where this blog lives. Most developer content either talks about side income in vague terms or promotes courses. I'm interested in specific strategies, specific results, and teaching developers to think systematically about money the same way they think about systems.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this financial advice?
No. Everything here is educational and based on my personal experience. Always do your own research and consider consulting a licensed financial advisor before making investment decisions.
Do you sell courses or coaching?
No. I have no courses, no paid communities, no affiliate links disguised as reviews. Every recommendation is something I personally use or have used.
How do I know the strategies are real?
I document real trades with entries, exits, and P&L. DevOps guides include actual config files and production-tested commands — not sanitized hello-world examples.
Can I contact you?
Yes. Reach out via the contact page or leave a comment on any article. I read everything, though I can't promise a fast reply.
