This is where the "Architectural Engineer" was actually born. While these years lack a formal portfolio page, they represent a decade of curiosity—from disassembling Pentium CPUs in 2009 to investigating web vulnerabilities in 2017. These fragments are the insurance policy for my current work; I don't just know how code works, I know how the system *breathes* because I've been tinkering with its lungs for over 15 years.
Circa 2009 — 2020
It began in 2nd grade with hardware — taking apart legacy Pentium 2 systems. By 3rd grade, the hardware curiosity turned into digital consistency. Writing tips and tricks about computer optimization on Blogspot.
Expanding to Kaskus and Facebook. Learning Meta Pixel and digital marketing before it was a mainstream career. Customizing Blogspot scripts led to a deep dive into WordPress.
This period introduced the "darker" side of the web: security research, dorking, and understanding vulnerabilities from the inside out — a period that built my deep technical intuition.
Entering Computer and Network Engineering (SMK). Structural understanding aligned with years of ad-hoc tinkering. Moving beyond PHP into modern frameworks.
