About Me

I turn complex problems into simple, elegant software.

Hi, I'm Vylonium — a full-stack developer with 6+ years of experience shipping products for startups and enterprises across Southeast Asia. I believe great software is equal parts engineering discipline and design empathy.

My Story

From curious kid to systems thinker.

I wrote my first program in high school — a calculator that couldn't divide by zero and crashed anyway. That bug hooked me. I spent my university years in Jakarta freelancing for local businesses, then joined a fintech startup where I learned what "production" really means: 3 a.m. alerts, real money, real users.

Since then I've led engineering for a marketplace, rebuilt a banking dashboard used by tens of thousands, and contributed to open-source tools I once only dreamed of understanding.

Off the keyboard, I'm a coffee enthusiast, an avid cyclist around Jabodetabek, and a mediocre-but-determined street photographer.

How I Work

Principles I actually follow.

"Ship small, ship often. A deployed 80% solution beats a perfect solution stuck in review."
Principle 01 — Iteration over perfection
"The user is not a stakeholder to manage. They're the whole point."
Principle 02 — Empathy in the details
"Write code the next engineer will thank you for — including future you."
Principle 03 — Clarity over cleverness
