Product builder, empowered by AI. AI writes most of the code these days. Product direction remains my own decision: what to build, who it is for, and why it matters. I ship small products, mostly for schools and small teams in Indonesia.
Currently building LabIPA and Soon. I keep open source as a side project: a place to share what I learn while exploring new stacks, and to build the tools I need for problems I run into myself.

LabIPA: School science lab management
A management system for school science laboratories (Laboratorium IPA), replacing scattered spreadsheets with one structured workflow, from inventory to accreditation reports.
- Centralized inventory: equipment and materials with condition, stock, and expiry tracking
- Practicum scheduling: controlled lab usage across classes, no double-booking
- Usage records: every practicum documented for evaluation and supervision
- Automatic reports & export: data ready for internal review and accreditation
- Lab profile: room capacity, facilities, and key equipment in one dashboard
Soon: Validate before you build
A self-serve tool for launching a coming-soon page and collecting interested subscribers before spending time and money on a product.
- Create a page in minutes, with no coding or hosting to manage
- Share the link, collect emails, watch the list grow
- Custom domains for a more professional identity
- Export subscribers as CSV anytime
- Free tier: one page and up to 500 subscribers
A side project in the open: experiments with new stacks, notes from exploring them, and tools born from problems I hit myself.

AI handles the bulk of implementation. I focus on product direction, system design, and the judgment calls that shape what gets shipped.

I write in Indonesian at Catatanku: notes on Linux, servers, embedded devices, and AI-assisted development.
