Hi!

I’m Dery, a software engineer at Gojek.

I created this website as a place to document my journey — both in career and life. I write about things I learn, build, and think about, with a particular focus on software engineering, while occasionally writing about other things that interest me.

You can find me on GitHub, LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Goodreads.
