Building Systems That Have to Work — and Drive Business Impact

After 14 years building software across defense, research, education, and climate-tech, I now help businesses build AI-powered systems and automation that create measurable impact.

Hi, I'm Yudi. I'm a software engineer based in Indonesia, with 14 years of experience building systems that serve real users at scale.

For most of my career, I worked across three very different environments — a Combat Management System for the Indonesian Navy, a research data platform at a university in the Netherlands, and a national school financial system deployed across more than 200,000 institutions for Indonesia's Ministry of Education.

More recently, I was the lead backend engineer at a US climate-finance startup, building an AI-powered agriculture risk platform from zero to production. Backend, LLM integrations, deployment — end to end, solo.

I believe the best software is measured by the value it creates for a business. Whether it's saving time, reducing costs, unlocking new revenue opportunities, or simplifying compliance, my focus is always on delivering measurable outcomes. With a strong backend engineering foundation, I build AI-powered solutions and intelligent automation that help businesses operate more efficiently and grow with confidence.

I'm here because I want to work with founders and product teams who need someone who can own the full technical side of a project. Not just write code — understand the problem, design the solution, and ship it.

I'm available now. If you're building something serious, send me a message.
