Abdurrachman M.

Freelance Kong developer

Website: https://linktr.ee/YoKulGuy --- I'm a realist, aspiring general system thinker, and software craftsman. Despite specialists giving much contribution and productivity to society, general system thinkers and their general system thinking can help us solve the second-order effect of human creation. As a society, we build civilization; we build skyscrapers, aeroplanes, gadgets, and all the advancements in technology, but we overlooked the second-order effect of our creation. Global warming and gadget addictions are an example to name a few. The more people adopt general system thinking, the more we can achieve a better society and brings our world to the next thousand years. I do research and craft code as my way of expressing my idea and belief. I crafted a scientific computation tool and instrument to help researchers do better research when I was in college. I led a team in a startup called Mekari to empower businesses in Indonesia. I previously worked at Midtrans, enabling software developers to be more productive and better empower commerce through technology. I write production code in Elm, JavaScript, Bash, Ruby, and Java. In 2020 I did functional programming on Elm and built a community around it. Feel free to reach out to me if you are an Elm user!

Crafting a compelling job title is critical as it's the first thing that job seekers see. It should offer enough information to grab their attention and include details on the seniority level, type, and area or sub-field of the position.
