Architecting Resilient & High-Throughput Systems
Crafting reliable backend architectures and distributed workflows—inspired by the cadence of clean code, endurance running, and musical rhythm.
Professional Profile
I am a Software Engineer focused on architecting resilient, high-throughput backend services, microservices, and distributed systems. Proficient in Go (Golang), Java (Spring Boot), Kotlin, and Rust.
Experienced in event-driven architectures (RabbitMQ, Apache Kafka), database schema design and indexing optimization (PostgreSQL, Redis, MongoDB), and cloud-native container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes, Jenkins CI/CD).
Across application and mobile layers, experienced in building clean, responsive user interfaces with Svelte and Vue.js, developing Kotlin Android solutions, and spearheading national payment standards (Bank Indonesia SNAP Open API).
Scalable Backend & Microservices
Specializing in high-throughput services using Go (Golang) and Java Spring Boot with modular, decoupled architectures.
Fintech & Open API Standards
Hands-on leadership in implementing Bank Indonesia’s SNAP Open API payment standards, multi-provider payment gateways, and reconciliation systems.
Observability & Cloud Orchestration
Automating continuous delivery with Jenkins, orchestrating containers on Kubernetes and Docker Swarm, and benchmark stress-testing with K6.
The Intersection of Rhythm, Cadence & Elevation
How disciplines outside engineering—musical timing, endurance pacing, and mountain expeditions—shape a calm, resilient, and summit-focused engineering mindset.
Music (Guitar & Drums)
Rhythm, Cadence & HarmonyMusical theater guitarist and drum enthusiast. Music teaches the art of timing, coordination, and pocket grooves—disciplines directly mirrored when choreographing distributed microservices and asynchronous events.
Long-Distance Running
Pacing, Endurance & CadenceApproaching software engineering like marathon running: finding an optimal cadence, building stamina under sustained pressure, pacing through complex architectures, and maintaining unwavering focus toward the finish line.
Alpine Hiking & Trekking
Elevation, Strategy & Summit MindsetSummiting peaks demands meticulous trail planning, altitude pacing, and calm resilience under harsh weather conditions—the exact mindset required to navigate complex legacy systems to reliable cloud-native summits.
