My name is Arif,

I am an analyst programmer from Mitrais, specialized on building back-end application, including the infrastructure and database design.

Technology that I use is Microsoft .NET, so it is using C# programming language.

For database, I use SQL Server Database.

And, the infrastructure, I prefer Microsoft Azure as cloud platform service.

Most of my experiences was working in the back-end side, like in my previous project,

I lead a small team to build a .NET Web API. It is a back-end application to manage client's core business. The client is one of a big company in Indonesia.

However, actually I also able to work on the front-end side as well. I highly experienced in html, css styling ...,

also I expert on javascript, jQuery,

and for the framework, I know ReactJS and KnockoutJS.

So, that's me, a back-end programmer who love working on front-end as well.

About my last project, we built a superapp for a marine company who also run oil tanker business.

So, the application is to manage crew and vessel, from the crew recruitment, manage the crew's data ...,

The features including processes to do the planning, preparation, and scheduling until the crew able to do checkin/onboarding process into the vessel, and even after that, the application will manage the crew to do checkout/offboarding process and also calculate their salary and allowances every month.

The Back-end API we use .NET web api, it is .NET 8, the latest version.

Front-end is using React with chakra UI.

Database is on the cloud, we built everything in Azure, the database, app services, job scheduler, blob storage.

Because the business flow is complex, as a technical lead, I need to carefully manage the development process, especially on how we manage our source code in Github.

By having good source code branching strategy, we can minimalize development conflict.

And, the project is successful, we managed to deliver all the requirements from the client.

One of the hardest challenge that i have experienced is when the project have very tight schedule, and it was happened in my last project.

We had to built superapp with complex business process from scratch, ... , and it should be going live into production in the next 3 months, with very limited resources. It was only six of us, 2 backend developers, 2 frontend developers, 1 designer, and 1 tester. This project, even some of our experts said that it's kind of an impossible project.

But, because I was technical leader on the team, I must not let everyone down, so I build an effective development process by skipping some processes, without sacrificing the quality. For example ...

Also, we were building re-useable codes and services as many as possible, so we can reduce bug fixing time, ...

By having more effective development process, we achieved the goal, and everyone happy ...

As I mentioned before, even though I have high experience in back-end application development, but I also happy to work one the front-end side as well.

I even have experience when I did full-stack development, from the front-end, back-end, cloud infrastructure, database design and security.

So, as long as the skill requirements matched, you can put me everywhere in your project, I'll do my best and I'll be fine.

Do you mean what will I do to learn new technology that I never touch before, right?

Usually, I'll start from the beginning by opening the technology official website, I don't want to get any misconception on new things, so I want to learn it from the basic.

But then, learning new technology doesn't mean we need to memorize every single words, terminology, or codes ... from it. Because we can googling it again later if we forgot.

The important things that I need to know is what is it, how it works, what the advantages of using this technology in our project, and how we can implement it in our app.

By doing this, I can adapt new technology quickly.

In my last project, it is not just the time that became a challenge, but also there was a high pressure from the client. Because there is no blue print of the application, the client keep adding new requirements and request feature change every time we did a meeting. This gave us high pressure because a lot of features that we build looks wrong from the client perspective.

As technical lead, I don't want the team fixing the same features again and again, repeating the same works. So we created a group chat where the client is in there as well. Then, when there is any confusion on the requirements, we can ask the client immediately. We don't need to wait next day to get the clarification.

By having this fast communication between developers and the client, I can reduce the pressure, because both side will have same perspective on the features.

Keeping up with trends and new technology is not easy for me because I always busy with the project and doesn't have much free time to learn new things.

However, as an analyst programmer, I need to keep advancing my programming skill. When working in the project, I always follow my curiosity when I find something that can be advanced or replaced with newer technology. For example, in one of my previous project, there was a feature that requires to use old code library, the applications still works by using it. ... But I curious if there is any better and new code library with the same function. So I did the research and implemented the new one.

Also, when moving from one project to another project, I always make sure that the technology that I use is, at least, one step newer than the technology from previous project. For example, my last 2 project was using .NET 7, so in the last project I use .NET 8.

This makes me always up to date with the technology that I master.
