Software Engineer/Technical Writer/Avid History buff

I started as an Android developer — 7+ years, most of it at GoTo/Gojek , and have since moved into backend engineering as well, working with Go, Kafka, Redis, and distributed systems. These days I split my time across both, plus the occasional LLM-driven side project. This blog is where I write about what I actually run into on the job: production issues I've debugged, practical tutorials, and the small productivity wins that make the day-to-day easier. Currently working as an independent contractor and open to full-time and freelance roles across Android and backend engineering , feel free to reach out.
