Ahmad Husen

Hai, as we say here.

My name is Ahmad Husen, but most people call me Husen. I am a self-taught software developer from Klaten, Indonesia. A small town located between Yogyakarta and Surakarta.

I started my journey in software development back in junior high, when I wrote CSS to customize my blog. What began as a hobby soon turned into a professional pursuit, and since 2016, I’ve been focused on building high-quality software with an emphasis on simplicity, stability, and performance to create the best software experience possible.

Throughout my career, I’ve worked on various projects, always striving to create user-friendly, scalable, and maintainable solutions. I believe great software balances functionality and ease of use, and I’ve adapted to new challenges across different technologies and industries.

In my current role as a Technical Lead Assistant, I help guide my team’s technical decisions and contribute to the overall direction of projects. I enjoy collaborating with others, supporting team growth, and ensuring we deliver efficient, high-quality solutions. I’m always looking for opportunities to improve both as a developer and a team player.

Experience

Since 2016, I have worked on several projects. For over 8 years, I have been using software technologies to help companies increase productivity which leads to increased profits. Along with that, I have also worked on several freelance and side projects to date.

Apart from that, I also create and contribute to several open source projects. I do it to learn new things, add to my new skills, and contribute to the community.

Skill

I believe there is no such thing as the best programming language or framework in software development. The truth is there is always the right tools for the job. And as a curious person, I am always up to date and open to new technologies.

But, most of the time, I’m comfortable working with Go, TypeScript (or JavaScript), SQL, HTML, and CSS, sometimes Rust too. I’m currently focusing on Go, Node.js, Express, NestJS, PostgreSQL, Redis, Svelte, Tailwind CSS, and more…

I have a few hobbies

When I’m not coding, I’ll stay as far away from my laptop as possible. One thing that has always been able to help me to do that is my motorcycle. I usually ride it around town or even take long trips if I have enough time. I also like motorsport in general. But I’ve always loved MotoGP and been a fan of it since I was in 5th grade.

My other hobbies?

I don’t have many other hobbies, but when I have free time, I usually write an article on my blog about something I’ve just learned, and sometimes watch movies too.
