§ Information Systems student & full-stack developer, aiming for a system analyst role

Muhammad Fathi Farhan.

"Most of the rework I've seen came from unclear requirements, so I try to settle the data model and specs before anyone writes code."

I'm an Information Systems undergraduate at Universitas Gunadarma (GPA 3.63). I build web apps, and more and more I'm the one writing the requirements and data models behind them. Recent work: an employee-evaluation app for a government ministry, three practicum tools (a quiz/assessment app, a CMS, and an emotion classifier) for my university's Psychology Lab, and features on a legal-documentation site.

I'm aiming for a system analyst role because the part I do best is turning what staff need into specs and ERDs. At the Psychology Lab I document the architecture and data models for our apps before development, which cuts down the rework later. On the ministry evaluation app I designed the schema and built the full stack in Next.js, PostgreSQL, and Prisma.

Before this I led the programmer division of a school robotics team for nearly two years (2022–2023), where I learned to debug under time pressure and explain code to people who don't write it. I'm comfortable saying when I don't know something, and I'd rather ship a smaller thing that matches the requirement than a bigger one that doesn't.
