About Me - Aries M Permana ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━ I'm a software engineer focused on backend development. I work mostly with Python (FastAPI, Django), Go, PostgreSQL, Docker, and Linux, tools I'm comfortable with and often reach for in day-to-day work. While backend is my main area, I occasionally get hands-on with frontend tools when needed, especially for projects that require a full-stack touch.

I take a pragmatic approach to building software. I follow best practices when they make sense, but I'm always aiming for a balance between best practices and practical use, while keeping in mind the trade-offs and consequences of each decision. Outside of work, I enjoy playing RPGs and JRPGs, and I occasionally join at local tech community events.
