Turning ideas into digital reality — crafting fast, accessible, and quietly opinionated web & mobile experiences for ambitious teams.

A developer who treats craft like a discipline, not a deliverable.

I'm Afgan — a freelance developer based in Jakarta helping startups and product teams ship web and mobile experiences that feel inevitable. My work sits at the intersection of engineering rigor and design taste.

Over the last six years I've built everything from early-stage MVPs to design systems used by hundreds of engineers. I write TypeScript like prose — clear, deliberate, no cleverness for its own sake. I believe the best products don't shout; they just feel right.

Currently focused on React, Next.js, and React Native, with a soft spot for animation, performance budgets, and the small interactions that make a product memorable. When I'm not shipping, I'm usually writing about craft or mentoring junior devs.

Tools I reach for when the brief says "make it real."

A focused toolkit — not a buzzword cloud. Each one earned its place by shipping products that survived contact with real users.

Three ways I can help your team ship.

01

Web Development

Production-grade web apps built with React, Next.js, and a healthy obsession with Core Web Vitals. From MVP to scale — type-safe, tested, and documented well enough that your team can actually maintain it after I leave.

React Next.js TypeScript Tailwind Node.js
02

UI/UX Design

Interface design that earns trust through restraint. I work in Figma to translate fuzzy product ideas into design systems, prototypes, and shipped interfaces — every component documented, every state accounted for, every pixel earned.

Consulting

Technical advisory for teams that need a second pair of eyes — architecture reviews, performance audits, hiring guidance, or a sanity check before a big rewrite. Honest, specific, and never longer than it needs to be.

Words from people I've shipped with.

Afgan shipped our MVP in six weeks. The codebase was so clean we onboarded two engineers mid-project without a single question. Rare find — he thinks like a designer and ships like an engineer.

He thinks like a designer and ships like an engineer. Our app finally feels like the brand always promised it would — and our App Store rating climbed from 3.8 to 4.7 within a month of relaunch.

Hired Afgan for a two-week performance audit. Three weeks later our Lighthouse score went from 62 to 98 and our bounce rate dropped by a third. He found issues three previous agencies had missed.

Let's build something worth shipping.
