Open to new opportunities

Hi, I am

Mochamad Faisal Rahman

Full Stack Web Developer

I build and maintain large-scale web ecosystems end to end — from architecture that cuts operating cost to commercial platforms that open new revenue streams.

  • Laravel
  • React
  • Next.js
  • Nest.js
  • MySQL
  • AWS

About Me

Full Stack Web Developer handling a national-scale media web ecosystem end to end: public portals, internal CMS, multi-subdomain APIs, and paid commercial platforms.

My focus is not just shipping features but turning business needs into measurable technical decisions — merging overlapping systems to cut cost, and building new channels that generate revenue.

I also lean on AI-assisted tools to speed up debugging, refactoring, and documentation without trading away code quality.
