FM

Hello 👋

I’m FM a developer who enjoys building things that actually work (and occasionally figuring out why they don’t).
These days I spend most of my time developing, experimenting with different stacks, and learning by doing, while keeping a strong interest in cybersecurity as my academic background.

I’m currently a Junior Lab Assistant at BINUS University, and yes, I’m still majoring in Cyber Security. I just happen to enjoy building more than breaking things now.

What I Do

I’m very much a “whatever solves the problem” kind of developer. I like understanding the system end-to-end and choosing tools based on practicality, not hype.

Things I usually work with (and enjoy):

• General Development: C, C#, C++, Go, Java, Python
• Web & App: JavaScript, TypeScript, Astro, Vue, Vite, JavaFX
• Backend & Data: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQL Server, Firebase, Redis
• Tooling & Infra: Git, GitHub, Docker, NPM
• Auth & Security: JWT (because auth is never “just auth”)

I like building projects that range from small utilities to full applications, mostly as a way to learn how things actually behave outside tutorials.

Background (a.k.a. how I got here)

I started out heavily focused on cybersecurity CTFs, research, low-level experiments, the whole thing. Over time, that foundation naturally pushed me toward development: writing better tools, building systems instead of just testing them, and caring more about maintainability and design.

Security is still an interest and part of how I think, but development is where I spend most of my energy now.

How I Think

• Learn by building, not memorizing
• Prefer simple, understandable solutions over clever ones
• Break things → understand why → rebuild them better
• Debugging is part of the experience (unfortunately)
