Nearly 5 years of building fast, secure, and maintainable backend systems — from REST & API services, database architecture, to CI/CD pipelines. Also comfortable working on the frontend with React and Next.js, as well as building Mobile Apps from scratch using AI Tools until live on the App Store and Play Store.

A combination of tools I use daily to build digital products from scratch to production.

Hi 👋
My name is Muhammad Ary Widodo, I was born and raised in Sumbawa, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, coming from a family of farmers where my first job was working in the fields. Over the years, I took on various roles, including driving and working as a motorcycle taxi driver, before discovering my true calling. Once I found my passion for programming, I committed fully to pursuing it as my lifelong career.
I am a dedicated and versatile Software Developer with experience in building, maintaining, and scaling web-based applications across diverse industries. My background covers both frontend and backend development, enabling me to contribute throughout the entire software development lifecycle, from system design and implementation to deployment and maintenance.
I possess a strong work ethic and am always eager to learn new things. Furthermore, I am skilled in time management, possess excellent communication skills, and am a logical thinker. I hold a great deal of respect for others and am always willing to lend a helping hand whenever necessary.
I believe a good product is born from a neat technical foundation and healthy communication.
Clean, tested, and easy for others to continue.
Queries, caching, and data structures are considered from the start.
Transparent progress, without confusing jargon.
Always trying out new tools in side projects.
Open for full-time work, contracts, part-time, or software architecture consultation. I usually reply within 1-2 hours.
