About Me

Hello! 👋 My name is Rijal Ghodi, a web developer passionate about crafting functional, beautiful, and user-friendly web applications.

Funny story: I started as a mechanical engineering student but switched to software development after seeing IT's growing potential in Indonesia. I taught myself programming and web development, diving deep into the world of tech.

I specialize in modern stacks like Next.js, React.js, Nest.js, and PostgreSQL. I also work with Docker, GraphQL, and TypeScript to build scalable systems with sleek user interfaces.

One of my humbling experiences was creating my own SaaS product, Paper Studio AI, to help users write academic papers. While it didn’t succeed, it taught me invaluable lessons about business, leadership, and solving real-world problems. Now, I approach every project with a focus on delivering user value, not just great code.

I’ve contributed to impactful projects too. At Esqarada, a trucking and cargo delivery company, I built a front-end with role-based authorization, PWA features, and push notifications. For Optimining, I created a dashboard with micro-frontends, enabling seamless collaboration and localization for English and Indonesian users.

Outside work, I’m a chess enthusiast ♟️ with a 2100 rating on lichess.org. Challenge me at usah_kau_kenang_lagi. Let’s play a game!
