I'm an Informatics Engineering student at Institut Teknologi Adhi Tama Surabaya (ITATS), building toward a career as a professional Software Engineer. I don't treat tutorials as the finish line — my process is closer to learn → build → break → debug → improve → ship → document → repeat. Most of what I know about a system, I learned by finding out where it fails.
Engineering focus: Full-Stack Web Development · Backend & System Design · Application Security · Developer Experience · AI-Assisted Engineering Workflows
Career Intelligence Platform · Laravel, PHP Built with a 3-person team for GEMASTIK XIX 2026. A career-readiness platform combining skill assessment, competency scoring, and AI-assisted evaluation concepts — mapped to SDG 4, 8, and 9.
CuanCerdas · Laravel, Livewire Robo-advisor & financial literacy app for Gen Z — risk-profile quiz, rule-based asset allocation, paper-trading portfolio on real historical NAV data.
BecomingNext-Project · React, Firebase Reflection/journaling app with a dual-axis (drifting vs. intentional) radar-chart insight engine.
ProjectBuRahmiRPL-IKI · Next.js, Redis High-concurrency concert ticket checkout engine — queue admission, distributed locking, payment-integrity hardening for ticket-drop scale traffic.

AI-Assisted Engineering
I use AI as an engineering accelerator for research, scaffolding, and code review — architecture decisions, debugging, and testing strategy stay under my own judgment, not delegated wholesale.

Student
→ learning computer science & software engineering
→ building projects
→ finding technical problems
→ debugging and improving architecture
→ exploring multiple technologies
→ developing stronger engineering judgment
→ growing toward professional software engineering
Questions I keep coming back to when building something: Where can this fail? Is the data model correct? Can another developer understand this without me explaining it? What happens in production, not just in dev?
