Summary
Raka Pratama is a frontend-first software engineer and chapter lead with 9 years of experience building scalable web applications using React, Next.js, TypeScript and occasional Go/Node backends. He specializes in modular architecture, domain-driven design, and shared component systems that improve maintainability and accelerate team growth, having led a 6-person squad to cut bug rates and improve unit test coverage from scratch. Raka has a proven track record of reducing build times and delivery effort—migrating Next.js to shave builds by 60% and introducing AI-driven workflows that cut delivery effort by 30–50%. Comfortable with async-first, documentation-heavy remote collaboration, he’s shipped payroll, attendance, and staffing platforms and built shared design systems and monorepos to enable cross-team reuse. Beyond hands-on coding, he focuses on cultural and process change—establishing API contract practices, PR quality gates, and coding standards that shift teams toward ownership. Based in Bandung, Indonesia, he combines practical engineering chops with mentoring experience from bootcamps to lead teams toward predictable, high-quality delivery.
