                const developer = {

                  name: "Naufal Zhafran",

                  role: "Full-Stack Engineer",

                  stack: ["JS", "TS", "React", "Node"],

                  superpower: "AI-augmented dev",

                  experience: "5+ years"

                };

I build software people actually use.

I'm a Full-Stack Engineer based in Jakarta. Over the past 5 years, I've built and optimized products used by millions — from payment dashboards at SeaMoney to mini web games shipped across Southeast Asia and the Middle East at Garena.

My edge isn't just experience. I combine a deep JavaScript/TypeScript foundation with AI tools to move faster without cutting corners. I write code that's clean, testable, and built to last.
