About Me

The "Why"

I’ve always been the kind of person who can’t stop asking “why.” Why is this built this way? What trade-offs or constraints does this abstraction address? Why do small changes sometimes have system-wide consequences? That curiosity is what pulled me into software engineering, and it’s still what keeps me excited about it today.

Engineering Philosophy

I work as a software engineer focused on the web, with most of my experience in React and front-end development. My work lives somewhere between product and infrastructure. Sometimes I’m building features users interact with directly, and other times I’m improving the foundations that make those features fast, reliable, and easy to maintain.

I care a lot about fundamentals. Strong concepts make it easier to learn new things, even when they’re not obviously related to front-end work. This mindset helps me adapt quickly and stay comfortable with change.

Technical Focus

On a daily basis, I work with React, Next.js, TypeScript, Node.js, TanStack Query, and Docker. I enjoy building accessible and thoughtful user experiences, and I often write reusable components that are shared across multiple products. While my main focus is frontend, on side projects I sometimes work as a full-stack engineer, handling backend logic with NestJS.

Current Role & Location

Since June 2024, I’ve been part of the core team at eDOT. I work on things that help other developers do their best work, including development tools, CI pipelines, and monitoring systems. I’m currently based in Jakarta, Indonesia 🇮🇩, working from here while staying open to remote opportunities across the globe.
