Story of the founder

From enterprise insurance to Swiss Industry 4.0 — one engineer, every step.

I started out in Bogor, then spent 2 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 dispute resolution platform for a Colombian bank, 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 2023 I founded Idin Studio to bring agency-level structure to founder-led delivery. 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.

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.

Studio milestones

10+ years, built one production system at a time.

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 2021

    Banking ODR system — Colombian fintech

    Consultant on an online dispute resolution platform for a Colombian banking client. Workflow design and engineering work that cut case resolution time by approximately 50% — domain breadth across language, regulation, and time zone.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 2026

    Top Rated Plus, multiple case studies live

    Top Rated Plus on Upwork, 100% Job Success Score, $30K+ verified earnings. 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.
