Meet Our Founders

Budi

The Technologist & Problem Solver

My journey into the world of technology began in Germany, where I earned my Master of Science in Computer Science from the prestigious Technical University of Berlin (TU Berlin). During my time in Berlin, I gained invaluable practical experience as a student developer and network administrator at institutions like the IRB at TU Berlin and the enterprise software company KNIME.
Upon returning to Indonesia, I took a detour from tech and embraced my entrepreneurial spirit, successfully building and managing an e-commerce business with a team of about 10 employees. This experience gave me a first-hand understanding of the real-world problems that businesses face—the challenges of managing data, tracking finances, and the desperate need for good software to solve these issues.
In 2025, I decided to return to my original passion, bringing my business insights back to the world of software development. I am now on a dedicated journey to re-enter the industry as a Backend Developer, specializing in the modern Java and Spring Boot ecosystem. This platform is where I document this comeback story, sharing everything I’m learning as I build complex, real-world applications like my personal finance tracker, Fintrackr.

The Dedicated STEM Mentor

For me, teaching isn’t just a profession; it’s a calling. I am passionate about demystifying the complexities of science and helping students build the confidence and skills they need to excel.
I specialize in providing high-level tutoring for students in some of the world’s most demanding academic programs, including the International Baccalaureate (IB) and A-Levels. My core subjects are Biology, Chemistry, Computer Science, General Science, and Math.
Over the years, I have had the privilege of guiding countless students from across Indonesia to academic success. My experience has also expanded internationally; I currently teach students online in Germany, giving me a unique understanding of different educational cultures and the standards required to succeed on a global stage.
My teaching philosophy is built on patience, personalized attention, and a focus on understanding core concepts rather than just memorizing facts. My goal is to help your child not only achieve the grades they desire but also to develop a genuine and lasting passion for learning.

Let’s Connect

Whether you are a student looking for academic support, a tech recruiter looking for passionate developers, or simply someone who believes in the power of education, we would love to connect.

Thank you for being a part of our journey.
