Rio Astamal
Programming & configuring servers since 2003
Hello there! My name is Rio Astamal. I'm based in Surabaya, Indonesia, currently focused on architecting and bootstrapping my own SaaS products.
Since 2004, I've been diving into web engineering and the open-source ecosystem. My core interests span cloud infrastructure (especially AWS), Linux server administration, application security, and recently exploring practical implementations of Generative AI.
I love open source, but closed source is fine tooβno need to take it too dogmatically. My principle is straightforward: as long as it solves the problem effectively and reliably, it is worth choosing.
Beyond computing, I enjoy studying astronomy, deep space, and history. I also practice photography in my spare time.
