Half of my life is full of Indomie and Memories.
The Story Behind The Code
Hey there! I'm not just your typical software engineer – I'm a drummer who traded some of my drumsticks for keyboards (the typing kind, though I still keep the rhythm alive). When I'm not crafting code or architecting systems, you'll find me lost in various digital worlds or creating beats that would make any compiler dance.
Rhythm in My Code
Former drummer of UniFive band, because sometimes you need to debug with a beat!
Digital Adventures
From Dota 2 matches to FIFA championships, and everything in between. Yes, even those heart-stopping horror games!
Storyteller at Heart
Once dreamed of being a novelist. Now I write stories through code, but the plot twists are just as exciting!
Code Craftsman
Turning coffee into code and problems into solutions, one function at a time.
Family First
Proud dad and family man, because the best code reviews come from my daughter's giggles!
Spontaneous Explorer
Unplanned travels are my jam – because the best bugs are found off the beaten path.
Food vs Fitness
In an eternal battle between loving food and trying to stay fit. Food usually wins, and I'm okay with that!
Cat Lover
As a proud cat enthusiast, I believe every day is 'purr-fect' when shared with my feline friends. Their playful antics and soothing purrs inspire me to approach coding with the same curiosity and creativity!
Technical Arsenal
Just a friendly heads-up: the confidence levels you see here are a playful snapshot of my skills, not a formal certification of expertise. I'm all about continuous learning and growth, so these percentages showcase my current confidence rather than a definitive measure of mastery!
