Backend Software Engineer
Rizky Kurniawan
I'm a software engineer specialized in backend. For the last four years I've designed and shipped production APIs and services.
I work mostly on backend systems, from API design and data modeling to the infrastructure they run on, favoring simple, dependable solutions over clever ones.
Open to remote backend roles, and occasionally available for freelance work and 1:1 mentoring.
