Grimoire by Iriyanto is a personal tech blog sharing thoughts and lessons on programming, software engineering, and everything around building with code.

Hi, my name is Iriyanto, and I’ve been working as a Software Engineer for about five years now. My primary focus is on Backend Web Development, but from time to time, I also take on roles such as system analyst or even a project manager.

One of the main reasons I decided to start this blog is to improve my communication skills. Writing is a great way for me to practice putting ideas into words, and I believe this will also help me in the future when I start creating content on platforms like YouTube.

Another thing I’m really passionate about right now is open source. In Indonesia, it’s quite common for developers to contribute as collaborators to projects, especially those started abroad, but it’s rare to see local developers initiating and maintaining their own open source projects. That’s something I want to change. My long-term goal is to dedicate more time to open source and eventually start projects that come from Indonesia and hopefully make an impact.

Besides those bigger goals, this blog will also serve as a personal space for me. I’ll use it to document my learning journey, share project experiences, and build my portfolio and personal brand along the way.

That’s it for a short introduction—thanks for stopping by, and nice to meet you!
