How I Build
Every project follows a structured process — from understanding the problem to shipping a polished solution.
Research
Understand the problem, audience, and constraints before writing a single line.
Design
Plan the architecture, data flow, and user experience.
Build
Clean, scalable code with modern tools and best practices.
Test
Automated tests, edge cases, and cross-browser checks.
Deploy
Ship with CI/CD, monitor performance, iterate fast.
Beyond the Code
When I'm not building things, here's what keeps me going.
I Went From Cast Member to Code Builder
In high school, I was a cast member in my school's musical production "REANIMAR" and ran the live streaming team. Now I build enterprise AI platforms. The common thread? Both require coordinating multiple moving parts under pressure — just with fewer dance rehearsals.
My Code Runs in Shops With No Internet
SE_Toko, the POS system I built, works completely offline. I designed it for rural retail stores where the internet drops every 10 minutes. The IndexedDB sync queue ensures no transaction is ever lost — even if the WiFi gives up, the business doesn't.
I Made AI Argue With Itself
In TierLog, I built a "guarded AI oracle" that uses multiple AI providers (OpenAI, Gemini, Claude, Groq) and makes them cross-check each other to prevent hallucination. It's like having four very smart interns who don't trust each other — and that's exactly the point.
From LED Walls to Code Walls
I started as a Visual Jockey running Resolume Arena for weddings and concerts before I wrote my first line of production code. Turns out, syncing visuals to live audio and debugging real-time API calls require the same skill — staying calm when everything breaks at once.

The Philosophy
"We shape our digital structures; thereafter they shape our perception of reality."
