Solving problems by making apps.

Software engineer. I speak Indonesian, Malay, and Banjar. English for work.

I like being useful and digging into complex problems, fixing them at the root. I pick a direction by instinct, check it against the evidence, and keep an eye on what's coming.1

Personal Works

Making some micro-SaaS apps under Tiny Ship Sailors.

Writing

Poems, stories, notes, almost all in Indonesian. The rare technical post is in English.

All writing

Art & Music

Music

Mostly acoustic. What I play:

Acoustic Guitar (Crafter GAE-8/N), Guitalele (Yamaha GL1), Gambus Selodang Riau (Ewah Black Edition), Kalimba Chromatic 34 keys (Gaharu GK34NS)

I record now and then on YouTube (#1, #2) and SoundCloud, though nothing new for a while.

Art

I draw once in a while and post it on Instagram.

Sejukata

Our family's name: me, my wife, two kids, one more on the way.
Membaca mengakarkan, berkarya menjulangkan.
Reading grows the roots, creating grows the height.

  • Ruang Baca Sejukata

    A small home library we opened for the kids around us — a quiet corner to read, borrow, and grow the habit.

  • Reka Sejukata

    Our small crafts and merchandise workshop, where the family makes things by hand.

  • Sinauria

    A children's literacy and creativity community my wife runs in Sleman. I keep things running behind the scenes.

Now

Living in Sleman, learning to slow down with Sekolah Alam Yogyakarta community. Waiting for our third child.

1From my Talents Mapping® assessment — the five roles it reads as my personal branding, drawn from my strongest talents. Server: a pull to be useful — helpful, responsible, at ease with people. Analyst: analytical and systematic, at home in the complexity of numbers and data, hunting for how things connect. Restorer: drawn to fixing things, whether people, tools, or systems, and tracing a problem to its root before solving it. Strategist: choosing a path by instinct, then grounding the choice in objective analysis. Visionary: seeing far ahead by instinct and intuition, a dreamer uneasy with limits. Curious about it?
