5 notes on engineering — newest first.
A C# engineer's React Three Fiber checklist
I came to React Three Fiber from C# / ASP.NET MVC, not from Unity or shader work. The mental model swaps that mattered, the things that look hard and aren't, the things that look easy and aren't.
The case for next/image even when it feels like overkill
PageSpeed once told me my portfolio shipped 31 MB of unoptimized PNGs. The migration to next/image, the LCP win, the trade-offs people skip when they reach for plain background-image.
From Gemastik animation 4th place to shipping enterprise software
Two years at the national animation level, then a hard pivot into C# / ASP.NET MVC for 1,500 employees. What animation taught me about engineering that engineering school did not.
React Native on Indonesian 3G — the real performance budget
Shipping a learning app to 500+ UGM students taught me what the React Native docs don't say about cheap Android phones on a tethered 4G/3G network. The budget I actually defend.
Migrating 1,500 employees off spreadsheets — a DevExtreme field report
Seven months leading workflow digitalization at Hino Motors Manufacturing Indonesia. What survives the move from Excel-as-process to C# / ASP.NET MVC / DevExtreme / SQL Server when 1,500 employees are watching.
