background.
i studied Computer Science at the University of Indonesia and finished my bachelor's degree in 2021 — though in practice, it hasn't mattered whether i had one or not. i only started coding when i entered university, and i fell for it fast. the idea of creating something out of nothing, bringing a thought to life through logic and lines of code — it still feels like magic.
i mostly work with web tech, mainly Svelte and TypeScript (and naturally, JavaScript). other languages i've explored include Assembly, Bash, C, C++, Dart (with Flutter), GDScript, Haskell, Java, Python, SQL, and a few others i've forgotten. regardless of language or stack, i care about solving the right problems — once you've grasped the fundamentals, everything else tends to follow. though if i had a choice, i'd always pick the one i enjoy most.
over time, i've found my strength in refactoring — restructuring systems and streamlining logic until everything fits. most of it happens behind the scenes: future iterations flow faster, debugging gets easier, and revisiting old code no longer feels like a chore.
i work full-stack out of necessity, but i tend to gravitate toward the frontend. i care about the interfaces i spend time with and the people who use them. i occasionally take on consulting and freelance work — reach out via any of these places if you need something tailored.

not everything needs to be loud. these platforms are tools, not identities. some stuck, some didn't—but they've all held fragments of me at some point.
