About

Based in Bali, collaborating with teams across Europe and worldwide.

Full stack development with an engineering-first mindset.

Based in Bali, Indonesia, I have spent the last 7+ years developing mission-critical web applications, property management software, and security tools for international clients. I hold a Master of Computer Applications and approach web development from the database schema up, ensuring that every API is resilient and every UI is responsive and fast.

Outside of writing production code, I study Japanese and continuously explore modern backend architectures, distributed event queues, and machine learning models.

Architecture from the ground up

Systems over Band-Aids

Fewer handoffs, higher impact

From database schema design and Docker pipelines to polished client interfaces, owning the full delivery stack.

Built for real business ops

Automation that eliminates manual friction, prevents double bookings, and delivers measurable ROI for operations.
