Hi there, I'm

Dandy Maulana

who builds things that scale.

Backend-focused engineer with 3+ years of experience building high-performance APIs and integration services handling 5k+ RPS. Worked across payments, banking, insurance, travel, and transportation industries.

About Me

Passionate backend developer with a love for solving complex problems through clean, efficient code. I specialize in Go programming and consistently focus on performance optimization — recently achieving 0ms runtime solutions on LeetCode challenges with memory efficiency that outperforms over half of the Go community.

I've worked across diverse domains: from payment systems at Durianpay, digital lending platforms at BRI, auto-recurring & auto-debit insurance systems at Manulife, flight ticket reservation services at BookingToGo, to QR-based e-ticketing for KCI & LRT. Each taught me something different about scale, reliability, and working within constraints.

What drives me is the intersection of technical excellence and team growth. I'm not the kind of engineer who just wants to ship features — I care about how things are built, the trade-offs, the architecture decisions, and the performance implications.

Outside of code, you'll probably find me behind a sim racing rig — chasing lap times and perfecting racing lines. Turns out, optimizing systems and optimizing race setups aren't that different.

My next goal? Growing into a Lead Software Engineer role, where I can blend hands-on technical expertise with people leadership and mentoring.
