// Story of the founder
From enterprise insurance to Swiss Industry 4.0 — one engineer, every step.
I started out in Bogor, then spent nearly 3 years inside a multi-country insurance platform — integrating 15+ insurance APIs, payment gateways, and a policy document engine across Indonesia and Thailand. That is where the bar got set: enterprise reliability, real production load, real consequences.
After that came a deliberately wide stretch — InKanteen's QR ordering across canteens and restaurants, Redek's online dispute resolution platform for Colombian banking disputes, F&B and wholesale ERPs through Gromura and Inovata. The point was never code depth alone. It was domain breadth — learning how software actually meets warehouses, merchants, and operations teams.
In October 2024 the Swiss Industry 4.0 engagement began — industrial IoT, edge AI, MQTT, and OPC-UA. 18+ months later it is still active. That is the difference between a freelancer who finishes a contract and a founder who carries a system.
In 2025 I founded Idin Studio to bring agency-level structure to the work I'd been delivering hands-on since 2018. No handoff to a junior. No quiet relay. The person you brief is the person whose hands are in the architecture and the production code.

// Studio milestones
8+ years, built one production system at a time.
- 2018
First professional engineering role
Joined a Jakarta cloud services company as a full-stack web developer. Shipped a real-time queue system that cut customer wait times by roughly 40% — the first time production traffic depended on code I owned end-to-end.
- 2019
Multi-country insurance platform — APAC scale
Joined as software engineer on an APAC insurance platform serving Indonesia and Thailand. Integrated multiple carrier APIs, payment gateways, and a policy document engine — first taste of building software under real regulatory scrutiny. Enrolled in Mercu Buana B.Comp.Sc in parallel.
- 2021
Banking ODR system — Colombian fintech
Consultant on an online dispute resolution platform for Colombian banking disputes (Redek, founded by a prominent Colombian lawyer). Workflow design and engineering work that cut case resolution time by approximately 50% — domain breadth across language, regulation, and time zone.
- 2022
F&B QR ordering platform — MVP to production
Full-stack developer leading the MVP of a QR ordering platform end-to-end — merchant dashboard, customer-facing QR flow, and POS used across canteens and restaurants. Learned how merchant-side software lives or dies on small operational details.
- 2023
Wholesale operational dashboard — SE consulting
Software engineering consultant on an operational dashboard for warehouse and sales teams. Different industry, same engineering discipline — clean architecture, tight feedback loops, real production load.
- 2024
Graduation, iPOS for warungs, Alpamayo onboarded
Mercu Buana B.Comp.Sc — graduated July 2024 with GPA 3.79. SE consultant on an iPOS product for Indonesian warungs (Apr–Sept). Joined Alpamayo GmbH as platform engineering consultant in October 2024. Owns customer-facing and plugin layer across PREKIT (Alpamayo's edge data platform) plus two production customer applications — UI design system, Grafana data source plugin in Go with TimescaleDB, MCP-based AI assistant, Sphinx documentation platform adopted as company standard.
- 2025
Idin Studio formalized as an agency
Transitioned from solo freelancer to founder-led agency. Goal: bring agency-level structure to founder-led delivery — no relay, no junior handovers, no surprises. Layered .claude workflow becomes the spine of every engagement.
- 2026
Top Rated Plus, multiple case studies live
Top Rated Plus on Upwork, 100% Job Success Score. Multiple case studies live, Alpamayo engagement still active 18+ months in. Intentionally small — every line of architecture still touched by the founder.
// How we operate
Operating principles
These are not slogans on a deck. They are the rules I run every project against — including this one.
Ship fast, polish iteratively.
Speed to market is the primary driver. We ship the smallest correct version, put it in front of real users, and refine on real signal — not imagined edge cases.
Clean Architecture is mandatory, even for prototypes.
Domain, use case, adapter, handler. The structure pays for itself the first time a feature needs to change shape — which on a real product is week 3, not year 2.
Structured agentic workflow over improvisation.
Every project runs on a layered .claude system: global skills, project rules, and specialized agents. Reproducible, auditable, and the reason a small team ships like a larger one.
Full source code ownership for the client, every time.
You own the repo, the CI/CD, and the deployment. No lock-in, no vendor-only escape hatch. If we ever stop working together, your product keeps running from day one.
Honest about size— staying small is a feature, not a limitation.
We are intentionally small. That is why the founder still touches every architecture decision. We do not pretend to be a 50-person agency, and we do not need to.
