Backend Developer at Detikcom
Backend systems behind national campaigns, contests, and recommendation engines: the problem, what I built, and how it held up.
Event Platform
2024
End-to-end contestant management and voting workflow.
Built the contestant platform for Hijab Hunt 2024 — registration, moderation, public voting, and winner selection — all in one system the editorial team could run themselves.
Campaign Microsite
2024 - Present
Route-aware personalization for the holiday travel season.
Led backend delivery for Teman Mudik 2026 by building reusable campaign modules, tightening publish workflows, and hardening high-traffic endpoints during peak holiday windows.
Campaign Microsite
2024 - Present
One reusable backend powering 14 national campaign microsites.
A shared backend platform behind 14 national campaign microsites across the detik Network — Detikcom, CNN Indonesia, and CNBC Indonesia. Reusable content services, a common publishing flow, and cache-aware read paths let each new event launch on proven infrastructure instead of a fresh build.
Internal Product
2020 - 2021
The CMS a thousand internal staff opened every day.
Built and maintained ELENA, the CMS behind Pintar's content operations. New features, bug fixes, and performance work, shipped in Agile sprints into a codebase that predated me.
Recommendation System
2022 - 2024
Personalized news recommendations using behavior signals.
Built the recommendation backend for iNews.id, ranking article feeds per reader from location and reading behavior, at 55M+ monthly impressions.
