The Long Way Up

Same milestones you'll find in my highlights. Not just what I built, but how each project quietly reshaped me.

2022 · First Lines

Assisting, and absorbing everything

Gethebook was my first codebase — a book-review platform I contributed to as an assistant frontend developer. I wasn't leading anything, I was observing, experimenting, and asking questions. Errors used to scare me. By the end of it, red text had become the most honest teacher I'd ever had.

HACKFEST 2024

The first time I took a project from zero to one was also the first time I competed in a hackathon. Takemeals was a food waste reduction app built in 1 week for HACKFEST 2024. It taught me that I could build something people cared about, and that I wanted to keep doing it.

Google Developer Group

My journey took a giant leap forward when I joined the GDG on Campus UDINUS Core Team. Being part of the Creative Media Division allowed me to blend my creative side with technology, but the real highlight was the people. Meeting fellow tech enthusiasts and diving into multiple GDG events fueled my passion and taught me the true value of a thriving developer community.

Best Project at Mobile Programming Class

My mobile app development journey started with learning Flutter to build my first app, Attenfence. Wanting to push my limits, I joined Doscom University's Mobile Programming Class, I built Swift Rides — a project that went on to win the Best Project award. It was a proud moment that proved I could take an idea from concept to completion completely on my own.

Internship as Mobile Developer & Freelance Designer

Suddenly the work had users and deadlines. I built TVKU Mobile as a Mobile Developer Intern, and designed company profiles for Mekanikace as a freelancer. No more 'just a class project' safety net — I learned to scope honestly and ship things I'd stand behind.

Internship as Automation Engineer

I moved beyond design and frontend into systems engineering — building an automated payroll and time-off pipeline in n8n and rewriting AI-agent logic in JavaScript to reduce cost. It was a steep, rewarding learning curve and the most exciting frontier I've explored so far.
