Hi, I'm Gilang
Full-stack software engineer with 4+ years building enterprise systems for World Bank and IFAD-funded programmes at Indonesia’s Ministry of Agriculture. I specialize in Laravel, Go, and Next.js, covering everything from system architecture to production operations.
I also run Nemuhunian, a property marketplace I built and operate independently. We have over 700 listings and 25K+ Instagram followers. It’s been an ongoing lesson in building a product from zero.
Currently open to full-time, remote contract, and freelance opportunities. This is my little corner of the internet where I share what I’m building, learning, and thinking about.
Selected Projects
Nemuhunian, AI Property Marketplace
A property marketplace I built and operate from scratch. Owners list directly to buyers, no agents, no brokers. 700+ properties listed in 7 months. An ongoing lesson across the full stack: SSR for SEO, Cloudflare R2 for storage, Go for API performance, and Meta Ads for distribution.
ICARE Programme - MIS
Joined an active World Bank-funded agricultural programme with no MIS in place, only a profile website. As sole MIS Specialist, designed and built the entire system from scratch in ~7 months: data architecture, beneficiary registry, financial reporting with 11,000+ backfilled transactions, and a KPI dashboard acknowledged by the World Bank team.
YESS Programme - MIS
Inherited a broken MIS at Indonesia's Ministry of Agriculture under an IFAD-funded programme. I fixed the data foundation, unified siloed applications into a single KPI dashboard, and turned the system into an auditable source of truth for IFAD, the Ministry, and Indonesia's national audit board (BPK).
