My Certifications
Continuous learning is key in tech, and these certifications reflect my commitment to mastering cloud technologies and development best practices. Below are a few of my earned credentials, led by the Google Associate Cloud Engineer certification.
Leadership & Programs
Throughout my academic journey, I actively sought out opportunities beyond the classroom to grow as a leader and collaborator. From participating in prestigious programs like Bangkit Academy to taking on key roles in various student organizations, these experiences have shaped my ability to work in teams, lead initiatives, and adapt in dynamic environments.
Bangkit Academy
Feb 2024 - Jul 2024
Selected as one of 4,000 participants from across Indonesia for this Kampus Merdeka-certified program led by Google, GoTo, and Traveloka. Focused on cloud-native application development, I built and deployed a full-stack, machine learning-powered NLP Android app in a 7 member team. I was responsible for designing and deploying the backend using Node.js and Express, handling API integrations, writing preprocessing logic in Python, managing the GitHub repository, and deploying services on Google Cloud Platform using Cloud Run, Cloud Functions, and Firebase. This experience deepened my skills in DevOps, scalable backend architecture, and cross-team collaboration.
Various Organizations
Nov 2021 - Oct 2024 • 3 years
Actively involved in multiple student organizations over the course of three years, including a key role in the Finance Group of IBIKKG (FGI) where I honed my organizational and strategic planning skills. I also contributed to the Badan Perwakilan Mahasiswa (BPM) as part of the student orientation team, helping to guide and onboard new students. At the same time, I was part of the Informatics Community, a major-specific organization, where I participated in program planning and peer support activities. Balancing these roles alongside academics has strengthened my ability to lead, collaborate, and manage responsibilities across different teams and objectives.
