01 — The long version

I started building for the web in 2022 and never really stopped. What began as coursework at Universitas Multimedia Nusantara turned into shipped products: a ChatGPT clone with its own auth and usage limits, a real-time ticketing platform for a talent show, and catalogue systems running in production for real clients.

Backend is where I'm strongest — Node.js, Bun, Python with Flask, PHP with Laravel — but I refuse to ship an ugly frontend. Tailwind, Framer Motion, and a stubborn eye for detail mean the interface gets the same care as the API behind it.

What actually drives me is learning. Every project on this site exists because I wanted to understand something new: how LLM APIs work, how to provision a Linux server, how to lead a team of developers who had never worked together before.

01

Generative AI

Building with LLM APIs since 2023 — CogniFy runs on the OpenAI API with custom auth and per-user usage limits. Currently exploring agentic workflows and AI-assisted tooling.

02

Learning in public

New runtime, new framework, new problem — I pick one unknown per project. Bun, Three.js, DevOps on a bare Debian server: each one started as a thing I couldn't do yet.

03

Leading teams

Vice chairman of Global Game Jam 2025, website coordinator for Starlight 2024. I like the moment a team starts moving faster than the sum of its members.
