I started frontend development because I loved seeing good design come to life. It felt like solving a puzzle that helped real people. After 6+ years building at Tokopedia and other startups, I’ve learned that great code isn’t just about looks, it’s about solving problems beautifully and reliably. Now I’m focused on building products that bring back that spark, combining design, code, and purpose to make things that actually help people.
