ALEXANDER YUANATA

Introduction

Profile

Hello, my name is Alexander Yuanata, currently a fresh graduate with a major in Computer Science from Universitas Sumatera Utara. I specialize in cloud technology, IT infrastructure management, and back-end development. My journey began in my second year of study, specifically in a class about computer networking. I realized the power that the internet and computer networks hold in our modern age when it comes to bringing people and communities together across the globe, and have pursued a specialization there ever since.
My goal is to improve myself and excel as a cloud engineer, capable of modernizing infrastructure and creating suitable solutions for businesses. I am capable of leading, communicating, and working, in a team, as proven by my many tenures in various organizations and volunteering experience. I can say for certain that I excel in English, both in writing and speaking, demonstrated by an exchange program to Nanyang Technological University.
