Overview

Farhan Journal is a personal knowledge-sharing platform built for Farhan, a well-known Indonesian edu influencer. The platform hosts articles, newsletters, and events to engage and educate his audience.

Goals & Requirements

The client needed a scalable, modern, fast, and user-friendly platform with an intuitive content management system, smooth user experience across devices, and integrated payment processing for paid events.

Role & Contributions

I developed the full application stack, built a custom CMS for content publishing, implemented a responsive UI using Next.js and Tailwind CSS, and integrated Xendit as the payment gateway for automatic event purchases. The backend was built in Go to ensure high performance and reliability. I also containerized the application and deployed it using Docker to ensure consistent environments and smooth CI/CD delivery.
