Open Source Enthusiast | Digital Magic Crafter | Free Tech-Education Advocate
🎯 Crafting Digital Magic | Turning Coffee into Code ☕
I build technology because I couldn't stop asking one question: why doesn't Indonesia have a single free platform that teaches technology end to end — from absolute zero to real open-source contribution?
Most of what's available is fragmented: scattered tutorials, paywalled courses, English-only resources — and for learners with limited bandwidth or shared devices, the gap gets even wider. That frustration became my mission.
- 🌍 Based in: Jakarta, Indonesia
- 💼 Current Focus: Building free, accessible technology education for Indonesia
- 🎯 Mission: Every Indonesian deserves a complete, free path into technology — that's what ProgramingLive is
- ❤️ The Why: I believe learning technology should never depend on money, location, or English fluency
I keep coming back to one question: why is there no free platform in Indonesia that gives people the full picture of technology?
The options today are fragmented — scattered tutorials, paid courses, English-only resources, tools that assume you already know the basics. For someone in a small town on a shared device with limited bandwidth, that gap is even bigger.
That frustration drives everything I build. ProgramingLive is my answer: a free, open, learner-first platform that walks people from zero — digital foundations, first web page, real projects, collaboration, open source — with text-first low-data lessons, no account walls, and consent-first progress tracking.
I believe access to technology education is a right, not a privilege. One learner at a time, we're building pathways from learning to opportunity — toward an Indonesia Emas 2045 that doesn't just consume technology, but builds it.

These are the ideas I've been writing about since 2023, distilled:
- Just start. More beginners get stuck in overthinking than in the code itself. Pick one language first, keep your plan simple, and leave room to digest what you learn.
- A degree is not a gate. A free, public portfolio of real projects speaks louder than a diploma — and the community that supports self-taught developers is bigger than most people think.
- Learning is a lifelong process, not a race. Curiosity, persistence, and the patience to accept that it takes time matter more than speed.
- Maximize what you already have. The free open-source ecosystem runs on the device in your hands — you don't need expensive gear or a specific OS to begin.
- Code changes lives. From apps that reshape how people move their cities to small tools a community builds for itself — the social impact is the real reward.
I'm constantly learning and exploring:
- How to make technology education truly free and complete for Indonesian learners
- Curriculum design: text-first, low-data, no-account learning paths
- Mentorship & community workflows that keep beginners safe, honest, and motivated
- Using AI to make learning more open, not more exclusive
I'm always interested in:
- 💬 Collaborating on open-source projects
- 🤝 Partnering with schools, NGOs, & mentors to bring free tech education to Indonesian communities
- 📖 Writing about accessible technology education
- 🚀 Building tools that let anyone learn technology, wherever they are
