Hello, I'm Raihan Yudo Saputra, a self-taught software engineer with 7-8 years of industry experience building local-first desktop/mobile tools, backend systems, and full-stack web applications.
I care deeply about software craftsmanship, fast compilation, simple architectures, and programs that respect user hardware and data ownership.
