Hey, I'm Aldy.
I enjoy turning complex problems into simple, usable experiences. I've helped Ruangguru, Schoters, and Recharge build better products, and many more companies along the way. These days I'm building crypto trading interfaces at Pintu, and sharing what I learn along the way.
Lately I've been building a few things on the side. Ariva is a tryout platform for CPNS and BUMN prep in Indonesia. And Meecanico is a macOS app for mechanical keyboard sounds. Typing feels sleepy when your keyboard has no sound, so I built this lol. It is live, still a work in progress, but I use it every day.
Writing:
- I Built Ariva in a Weekend. The Hard Part Was Not the Code.
- I Read the Duolingo Handbook Cover to Cover. Here Is What Actually Stuck.
- Here Is How We Keep Crypto Apps From Melting Phones.
- My Experience as a Frontend Engineer in Crypto
- I Under Engineered a Notification System. Six Months Later, I Paid for It.
- Don't Ask to Ask, Just Ask
- Your Images Are Probably Slowing Your Site Down. Here Is What I Do About It.
That's most of what I'm up to. If you want to follow along, I share what I'm learning on X, open source side projects on GitHub, and I'm always happy to chat with other builders on LinkedIn.
