Hi, I'm Hangga Aji Sayekti.
Software engineer since 2008, lead engineer from 2015 to 2025. I've helped teams build production systems, mentor developers, and drive engineering initiatives.
Since 2011, I've been writing practical programming tutorials. In 2023, my work appeared on Baeldung, CircleCI, Vultr, and DigitalOcean. Since 2024, I've also been active in penetration testing and secure coding training.
Today, I help developer-focused companies create technically accurate content that actually resonates with engineers.
