Hello
I'm Zikri Akmal Santoso, a software engineer with 5 years of experience building web and mobile applications across banking, fintech, and enterprise software.
I've decided to start writing — to document what I learn, share what I've built, and explore ideas I don't get to discuss at work.
What I'll Write About
- React and React Native — patterns, performance, things that surprised me
- Backend development — Go, Laravel, API design
- Career — navigating the software industry in Southeast Asia
- Tools and workflow — how I actually build things day to day
Why Now
After working at Alliance Bank Malaysia and Adira Finance, I have accumulated a lot of lessons I want to put into writing. This blog is where I'll do that.
Stay tuned.
