My story

Four years building software that has to work

I'm Akmal Keisin, a full-stack developer based in Semarang. I started building websites at 18 and have been shipping to production ever since.

The modern stack shifts constantly. I learn the fundamentals first, then the tools, so the architecture still holds up when the framework changes.

How I work

Four guidelines I use to keep projects robust, inclusive, and maintainable.

Accessibility first

Everyone deserves working software. I start from semantic HTML and WCAG standards so the result is usable by more people, not fewer.

Understand the system

I learn the fundamentals before the framework. Knowing how the pieces work underneath makes for better architectural decisions.

Keep learning

The stack moves fast. I stay current by reading, rebuilding, and testing ideas in real projects rather than at a distance.

Ship, then improve

I favor getting code into production early and making it better from real usage and feedback, instead of perfecting it in a vacuum.
