Muhammad Raffi Aqsan

I'm a junior software engineer and IT support technician with a vocational background in Software Engineering (July 2023 – May 2026) and 6 months of internship experience at BRIN. I build pragmatic web applications and troubleshoot IT systems, with an active curiosity in cybersecurity and Web3.

Chapter 01

Practical Foundations (Jul 2023 – May 2026)

I studied Software Engineering at a vocational high school from July 2023 to May 2026. The curriculum was hands-on from day one: database modeling, SQL queries, and MVC architecture using PHP, Laravel, and MySQL. That's where I built my first fullstack e-commerce app with a functional admin dashboard. Starting on the backend gave me a solid respect for data flow and server logic.

Chapter 02

6 Months at BRIN Pusdatin (Jul – Dec 2025)

From July to December 2025, I completed a 6-month internship at the National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) at Gatot Subroto, placed in the Data and Information Center (Pusdatin). Around 80% of my time was spent on IT support, hardware maintenance, and network troubleshooting, while the remaining 20% went into maintaining internal web systems. It taught me how real organizational IT infrastructure operates.

Chapter 03

Modern Web & New Horizons

I don't stay locked into a single tool. Depending on what I'm building, I work across Next.js, React, Astro, Express, or Laravel — including building a finance tracking app connected to an ML pipeline for automated transaction categorization. Today, I'm actively expanding my knowledge into cybersecurity, Web3, and Web Development, while looking for junior software developer, web developer, or IT support opportunities.

Engineering Mindset

Pragmatic,
curious & honest

I care about understanding how systems actually work under the hood — whether I'm troubleshooting network cables or debugging an API endpoint. I believe in writing straightforward code, keeping database schemas clean, and building software that just works without unnecessary complexity.

Core Values

What I
stand for

These are the core principles that guide my work. I don't just write code; I engineer solutions with these values in mind.

01

Clean Architecture

Code should be easy for the next person to read and maintain. I avoid over-engineering and stick to solid, predictable patterns.

02

Performance

Nobody likes waiting for slow pages. I keep bundle sizes small, optimize assets, and make sure interactions respond instantly.

03

Attention to Detail

Good UI is in the subtle things: consistent spacing, sensible error states, and interactions that feel natural on any screen.

04

Dependability

Clear communication, realistic estimates, and software that actually works when it reaches users.
