About
Agronomist turned engineer. I build for the web, and I'm always pulling the thread to understand how things work underneath.
Muhammad Ihsan
Software Engineer with a strong frontend foundation
“Curiosity is what drives me, I started on the frontend and kept pulling the thread until I understood the full picture, from UI to infrastructure.”
I'm a Software Engineer with 4+ years of experience building scalable web applications, with a strong foundation on the frontend. Most of that time was spent at Female Daily Network, Indonesia's largest beauty platform, where I built everything from event ticketing systems and video streaming widgets to CMS dashboards and a dynamic product recommendation engine, collaborating across multiple engineering tribes in a fast-paced Agile environment.
My path into tech wasn't a straight line. I pivoted in 2021 after years in sales, procurement, and digital marketing, and before that. I studied Agricultural Engineering at IPB University. I retrained through Hacktiv8's Fullstack JavaScript bootcamp, where I was awarded Best Individual Project. That pivot taught me that with deliberate practice, you can get good at almost anything.
I write about what I build and learn here, mostly web development and engineering craft. If something resonates or you just want to talk tech, feel free to reach out.
