Software Engineer | HomeLab Enthusiast | Photographer | Bilingual
I am a software engineer with a foundation in PHP and Laravel backend development, currently expanding into the JavaScript ecosystem with Astro (the framework powering this site). I prioritize building pragmatic applications that resolve concrete problems and streamline user workflows.
Currently transitioning into university studies, I am developing a modern Bell Management web application designed to resolve existing accessibility constraints.
Previously, during my vocational education, I interned at MASCITRA.COM in Jember, where I maintained legacy code for an enterprise retail application and contributed to a government management system. Additionally, I co-developed a digital yearbook platform for my institution to eliminate paper usage and reduce costs, a system I continue to maintain and scale today.
Off-hours are allocated to reading, sleeping, and doomscrolling.

Projects
A selection of applications and systems shaped around real workflow problems, maintainability, and clear operational value.
Featured project
A simple web application to manage and monitor school bells.
Solo-built a real-time school bell system - admins schedule classes on the web app, and a connected device plays jingles through the physical announcement system on cue. Powered by Laravel, WebSockets, and Laravel Echo.
A digital yearbook archiving platform designed to reduce school printing costs and preserve student records.
Contributed over two years in growing roles - Backend Supervisor in year one, overseeing backend development and code quality, then moved into a DevOps role in year two handling server setup, deployment pipeline, and CI/CD configuration.
A digital library tracking system for managing book collections and borrowing records.
Built a library management system with real-time stock tracking - books with no available copies are automatically marked unavailable, and high-demand titles surface on the front page as trending. Built with PHP native and MySQL.

You don't need expensive hardware to start a homelab. An old laptop is enough to get started.
