I build backend systems that hold up under load.
about
I’m a software engineer with 8+ years in backend development and microservices — PHP since the start, Go for the last four, Kubernetes in between (CKAD certified). These days I build Open Banking integrations at Brankas, wiring banking APIs across Indonesia and the Philippines.
Before that I led a backend team building hospital systems: online patient queues, BPJS integration, and an HMS that clinics rely on daily. I’ve also run online exam systems for schools, where a thousand students hitting submit at the same time teaches you exactly what your database can and can’t take. I write about what breaks and how I fix it.
Outside of work I co-founded Kongkow IT Pekanbaru, a community where IT professionals, students, and academics in Pekanbaru meet to learn and share.
