Engineer by trade. Maker by nature.

Hi, I’m Yusuf—a senior backend engineer based in Yogyakarta, Indonesia.

I build software that helps people do meaningful work with less friction. I’m especially drawn to the hidden architecture of a product: the systems, decisions, and careful details that make an experience feel effortless.

My path has taken me from leading IT at an education nonprofit to building messaging services for a US-based company. Along the way, I’ve shipped internal platforms, public-facing products, and experiments of my own.

Outside work, I keep making things. Sometimes that means exploring a product idea; other times it means cycling, learning a new tool, or refining the tiny corner of the internet you’re looking at now.
