About Me

More than just a backend engineer

I'm Rizky, a senior backend engineer who believes that great software should make people smile. Over the past 8 years, I've designed and built distributed systems that handle millions of requests per day — and I always keep the human side of engineering at heart.

When I'm not debugging a retry storm or optimizing a query plan, you'll find me playing guitar, doodling, or exploring new coffee shops. I bring that same joyful energy to every code review and architecture discussion.
