Hi, I'm Sam, a Software Engineer from Indonesia, currently working at Vidio. I specialize in building scalable, maintainable, and high-performance web applications using Ruby on Rails and Next.js. I care deeply about clean code, performance, and delivering meaningful user experiences. Outside of coding, I'm always looking to grow through continuous learning and enjoy working closely with others to turn ideas into impactful products.
