I'm Bagas,
A Software Developer
Real products. Real shelves. Real scale. I lead a backend engineering team building the distribution infrastructure behind Indonesia's FMCG supply chains. From self-taught to team lead in two years — this is where I share what I learn along the way.

Lead Software Engineer
Leading a team of 4 backend engineers building and maintaining NexChief and NexDistribution Suite — enterprise distribution management systems serving Indonesia's FMCG industry. • Architecting and scaling Go-based microservices handling high-volume transactional data across PostgreSQL, MongoDB, and Redis • Optimized a critical file processing service from handling 100 concurrent files to 400+, with each file averaging 80–100K rows — a 4x throughput improvement • Established zero-downtime deployment pipelines across dev, staging, and production environments using Docker • Serving as L2 escalation point for production incidents, reducing resolution time through structured on-call rotations • Mentoring a team of 4 engineers on backend best practices, code review standards, and system design Tech: Go, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker, Node.js
Software Engineer
Developed and maintained backend services for NexChief — a distribution management platform used by FMCG companies across Indonesia. • Built a universal file ingestion interface capable of parsing multiple file formats, with automated structure validation, data format checking, and optional master data mapping — reducing manual data entry errors and streamlining onboarding for new clients • Developed and shipped core backend features in Go and Node.js, translating business requirements into scalable microservice architectures • Collaborated cross-functionally with QA, UI/UX, and project managers to deliver features within scope, timeline, and quality targets • Owned bug triage and resolution for production defects, driving improvements in system reliability through integration and regression testing Tech: Go, Node.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Docker
Associate Software Engineer
Started as a trainee and grew into a contributing backend engineer, working on farmindo and internal tools within the distribution management ecosystem. • Developed and maintained backend modules in PHP, Node.js, and Go under senior engineer guidance, building a strong foundation in API design and database management • Wrote and maintained unit tests to ensure code reliability across releases • Integrated third-party services and internal microservice components into the core platform • Participated in debugging and troubleshooting production issues, learning structured approaches to root cause analysis • Collaborated in agile sprints alongside senior engineers, progressively taking on independent feature ownership by end of tenure
