    BITD

    Freelance, Backend Engineer & Infra

    BITD's platform runs its customers, packages, invoices, and support, and provisions subscribers straight onto its MikroTik routers over RADIUS. Other ISPs run on it too, each as its own tenant.

    On a team of two, I own the backend and the system it runs on. The hardest part so far: the spawner that sets up each new tenant.

    Apple Developer Academy @ BINUS, Bali

    I was accepted into the Apple Developer Academy from more than 10,000 applicants across Indonesia. The program's motto is to unlearn, and it runs on curiosity: every project starts from a real challenge, through Challenge Based Learning.

    It changed how I look at a problem, how I research it, and how I build a solution from what I find. Omawe and KataMata both came out of it.

    PT Tunas Ridean (Tunas Group)

    Most of my work was automating the tax team's workflows in KNIME. The piece that stuck was Coretax Scraper, a Chrome extension that cut a ten-minute export to under fifteen seconds and became part of the team's monthly routine.

    My first corporate job taught me the work around the work: handling tasks under pressure and deadlines, managing stakeholders, and presenting what I'd built.
