About

Hey 👋, I’m Ronny. I’m a software engineer based in Melbourne, 🇦🇺 Australia.

Over the past 25 years, I have been building my skills and experience across many different roles and industries.

I have been a sysadmin, a consultant, a software developer, a data engineer, a site reliability engineer, a platform engineer, an engineering manager, a staff/principal engineer.

I have worked in industries ranging from hosting, email marketing, general insurance, road traffic, construction, real estate, creative marketplace, online learning, video streaming, and currently in workforce planning.

I specialise in building and running resilient and scalable services. Not only in terms of supporting the end-user facing workload, but also in terms of maintainability and adaptability to the business.

I enjoy tackling challenging business problems at scale. As much as I enjoy solving technical problems, I acknowledge that many hard business problems are rarely technical in nature. As such, I’m a big believer of the People First approach which puts people above processes, technology, money, status, etc. It’s about building connections: empathy, mutual respect, honesty, collaboration and continuous learning.

When I’m not working or spending time with my family, I enjoy cooking, making coffee, and learning Japanese 🇯🇵 — よろしくお願いします.
