Hello! 👋 I’m Aries.
I’m a software engineer who spends most of my time on backend stuff and infrastructure — Docker, Kubernetes, that kind of thing. Lately, with a bit of help from AI, I’ve been dipping my toes into frontend too. So I guess you could call me a full-stack developer at this point.
Current Focus
- Backend Development
- Full Stack Development
- Agentic AI
What I Do
I’m currently a Senior Backend Developer at a company in Jakarta, Indonesia. Day to day I work mostly with Go and Python, we have services in both, so I switch between them depending on what needs fixing or building. Sometimes I touch JavaScript and PHP too.
When I’m not coding, I enjoy writing on my blog, trying out new things, playing games, and above all, spending time with my family.
