About

Systems Thinking, Product Delivery

I enjoy building software where architecture and operations matter as much as user-facing features.

I am Muhamad Fikri, an Electrical Engineering student at ITB with a strong interest in backend systems, infrastructure, and security engineering. I tend to work from first principles: understand the constraints, model the system clearly, then ship something that can be operated and improved.

A recurring theme in my projects is bridging software and real-world systems. That includes smartcard and eMRTD security workflows, IoT monitoring pipelines, and practical deployment concerns like reverse proxy configuration, health checks, and runbooks. I prefer tools and architectures that are understandable, testable, and maintainable.

I am also interested in building products with clear operator value. For me, this means prioritizing reliability, observable behavior, and UX that works for non-technical users. Long-term, I am especially interested in energy-related and data-center adjacent work where systems engineering has direct physical impact.

Outside pure implementation, I enjoy turning rough ideas into structured scopes: clear requirements, realistic milestones, and measurable tradeoffs. That product-meets-engineering overlap is where I do my best work.
