I build the quiet parts of the internet — the boring, reliable bits under the pretty UIs. Networks that don't fall over. Servers that notice when something's wrong. Code that ships. Projects that land on time. Fueled by coffee://localhost:3000 — always listening, occasionally brewing.
An open-source, distributed intrusion-detection & threat-intel platform — developed in collaboration with PENS (Politeknik Elektronika Negeri Surabaya). A sensor mesh (Suricata + custom agents) streams events through a Kafka-backed pipeline into a central SIEM for enrichment, correlation, and response. Designed to be deployable for both academic research and real production environments.
Production-tracked release line — deployment manifests, sensor & collector services, and runbooks. The branch meant to actually run in a rack.
› github.com/mata-elang-stable →Research & lab iteration line with PENS — experiments, detection rules, and paper-adjacent tooling. Where new ideas get broken in before they ship.
› github.com/mata-elang-pens →Owning the technology & infrastructure function end-to-end — strategy, budget, hiring, and delivery. Leading network, server, cloud and security teams across a healthtech platform; setting architecture standards and risk posture; reporting to exec on uptime, security, and roadmap.
Designed and operated the core network and server stack. Provisioning, monitoring, backup & recovery; hardened the baseline and stood up the first observability and IR workflows before stepping into the VP role.
Technology leadership across product, infra and delivery. Owned the architecture, engineering team, and external technical partnerships. Ran in parallel with PENS lab work and early Trustmedis years.
Long-running research affiliation with PENS Computer Network Lab. Core contributor on Mata Garuda and Mata Elang — open-source IDS / SIEM research platforms. A parallel academic track that feeds directly into the work.
