About
Arlan Tri Handika, Software Engineer
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.
