A human behind
the pixels.
Software engineer, curious tinkerer, and a fan of the little details that make something feel right.
The short version
I’m Muhammad Rivki. Most people call me Rivki, the internet knows me as Mikqi, and Ikki works too (say it e’ki). I’m a software engineer in Jakarta, and I’ve been building for the web for ten years.
It started with informatics at Universitas Komputer Indonesia. In 2015 I won Microsoft Imagine Cup Indonesia with a browser extension that helped parents keep an eye on what their kids did online. A year later I joined Bukalapak as a junior frontend engineer, straight out of university.
Since then I’ve built for online shoppers at Bukalapak and Blibli, for teachers and students across Indonesia at INA Digital Edu, and now for people paying with GoPay. Somewhere along the way I fell for design systems, accessibility, and tools that make other engineers faster.
Outside work I’m usually learning something (Rust, lately), playing co-op games with old friends, or watching sci-fi with my wife.
What I care about
Simple beats clever
If people need a manual, I haven’t finished the job.
Fast is a feature
A page that loads in two seconds respects people’s time and data plans.
Everyone gets in
Keyboard, screen reader, cheap phone, slow connection. It should work for all of them.
Leave the codebase better
Good components, docs, and pipelines make the next engineer’s day easier. Often that engineer is me.
