About Me

Hey there! 👋 I’m Mohamad Kholid Bughowi, a passionate software engineer with a knack for turning complex problems into elegant solutions. I believe in the power of technology to create meaningful impact, and I’m constantly exploring new ways to push the boundaries of what’s possible in software development.

My Journey

My path in technology began at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (ITS), where I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Informatics. But my real education never stops - I’m a firm believer in continuous learning and staying ahead of the technology curve. From my early days coding simple applications to now architecting complex systems, every challenge has been a stepping stone to growth.

What I Do

I specialize in full-stack development with a particular focus on creating scalable, maintainable applications. My approach combines technical expertise with a deep understanding of user needs, ensuring that every solution I build not only works flawlessly but also delivers real value.

Technical Philosophy

My tech stack choices are driven by three core principles:

  • Type Safety: TypeScript is my go-to language for web development, as I believe strong typing leads to more reliable and maintainable code
  • Performance: Go has become my trusted companion for building efficient backend services that can scale
  • System Reliability: Rust represents my commitment to writing secure, high-performance systems when requirements demand it

Professional Journey

Currently, I’m working as a Frontend Developer at Astra International, where I’m contributing to projects that push the boundaries of what’s possible in web development. My career path has been marked by diverse experiences across different domains:

Industry Experience Highlights

  • Social Media Integration: At Teepee, I led the migration of backend services from Strapi to Go, significantly improving system performance and user experience in a creator-business connection platform
  • Healthcare Technology: During my time at Hash, I contributed to modernizing healthcare information systems using TypeScript and GraphQL
  • Government Digital Transformation: At Dinkominfo Surabaya, I played a key role in developing an API Gateway that unified digital services across the city
  • EdTech Innovation: My work at Torche Education involved revamping their digital presence and modernizing their tech stack

Beyond the Code

While coding is my profession, my passion extends beyond just writing code. I’m deeply interested in:

  • Software Architecture: Designing systems that are not just functional, but sustainable and scalable
  • Developer Experience: Creating tools and processes that make development more efficient and enjoyable
  • Open Source: Contributing to and learning from the open source community
  • Tech Community: Sharing knowledge and experiences with fellow developers
