Currently
iOS Developer Learner at Apple Developer Academy @BINUS

I am a Computer Science graduate from BINUS University, currently waiting on the ceremony. Most of my work sits on the backend. Business logic, system design, state management, and the layer that connects all of it to a UI, usually something close to MVI. I have spent more time as a full-stack developer than the word backend suggests, which means I generally know what happens to my API once it reaches the other side.

I go deeper into a problem than the deadline strictly requires. When a system has to serve both the easy case and the hard one, I would rather build a fast path for the common case and escalate only what genuinely needs it, instead of routing everything through the expensive route because that is simpler to write. An extra day understanding a constraint beats a week working around it.

The Apple Developer Academy is where I picked up native iOS frameworks and architecture. It is also where I started taking UX seriously, in a broader sense than interfaces. An endpoint that fails silently is a UX problem long before anyone calls it a bug. Lately I have been reading about multi-agent systems, and how work gets divided between specialised agents instead of asking one to carry everything.

Away from a keyboard I am usually with Shiro, my pet dog, walking somewhere on my own, or playing football. I read as an extrovert and I am not one. I adapt quickly, which is a different thing.

One thing the photos on this page will confirm. I own almost no serious pictures taken by other people. They are mostly clumsy. I have made my peace with it.
