Arlan Tri Handika
I build software end to end: web apps, the APIs behind them, and the servers that keep them running.

Software engineer in Medan, Indonesia. I build web applications across the whole stack: database schema, the services and APIs on top of it, the interface that calls them, and the servers they run on. Laravel and Node.js are what I reach for. Infrastructure is part of the product to me, not somebody else's job.
My work spans the whole stack: schemas over a hundred thousand rows, RESTful APIs, React and Livewire interfaces on top of them, and the NGINX, Docker, and deployment pipeline underneath. Most of it is on the unglamorous half of a product, and most of it is what decides whether the product survives its first year. The work page has the details, with real numbers.

Open to software engineering work: web applications, APIs, the interfaces that use them, and the servers, containers, and CI/CD that ship and run them. Most of what I build sits on the unglamorous half of a product, and that is the half that decides whether it survives its first year. If yours has outgrown the spreadsheet it started in, I would like to hear about it.
