On the software side, I started in 2013 building SEO-friendly websites and have since grown into full-stack development — shipping ERP systems, cloud infrastructure, and internal tools that run in production every day.
I currently serve as IT Manager at PT Arta Daya Taruna, overseeing a Mining Management System that supports 500+ employees daily, after migrating their infrastructure to AWS with zero-downtime deploys.
In the drone world, I've trained more than 5,000 pilots through FASI, CV. Galeri Angkasa Sejahtera, and PT. Remote Pilot Indonesia, working with government ministries, the military, state-owned enterprises, and universities across Indonesia.
I've also written three books on drone operations and built drone.co.id, a community platform for Indonesian drone pilots with an LMS and pilot portfolio system.
