Bio
Hey, I'm Naufal — a developer, student, and (self-proclaimed) alien from Indonesia. I spend most of my time building things for the web: from backend APIs in Go and Laravel, to polished frontends in Next.js.
I'm currently studying Informatics Engineering and working on side projects that scratch my own itches. I believe the best way to learn is to build real things, ship them, and learn from the feedback loop.
When I'm not coding, I'm probably reading, listening to music, or exploring a new technology rabbit hole. I'm passionate about developer tooling, AI applications, and clean system design.
Journey
Going deeper into AI tooling
Exploring LLMs, agents, and building AI-powered products.
Launched first SaaS product
Shipped a side project that got real paying users within the first month.
First serious freelance work
Started taking freelance projects and building production apps for clients.
Got into competitive programming
Joined the university team and fell in love with algorithms.
Started university
Enrolled in Informatics Engineering. Switched from hobbyist to serious developer.
First line of code
Built my first website at 14 — a fan site with Comic Sans and neon colors.
Values
Ship it
Done is better than perfect. I believe in iterating in public and learning from real usage.
Simplicity
The best code is no code. I aim to solve problems with the fewest abstractions necessary.
Curiosity
I'm perpetually curious about how things work under the hood — from compilers to human behavior.
Craft
I care deeply about the quality of my work — clean APIs, readable code, polished UIs.
Interests
Goals
- Ship an AI-powered SaaS product with 100+ paying users.
- Contribute meaningfully to open source projects I use daily.
- Build a developer community around open tools and knowledge sharing.
- Work with a world-class team on products that matter.
