Hey,

I’m Iman, the owner and maintainer of SoftwareArchitect.ID. SoftwareArchitect.ID is my brand as an independent and fractional software architect for small and mid-sized startups. I offer consultation, hands-on project delivery, project planning, design, and the establishment of engineering standards.

Everything I include in this newsletter is based solely on my experience, thoughts, and occasionally, the lessons I've learned from past projects, clients, and self-study.

I’m not very active because I only publish when I feel the need to emphasize or share stories that are worth telling. When I write on some content like dictating, mandating, or any somewhat controversial topics, please be wise and take it with a grain of salt.

When I share my thoughts, it’s okay if some people disagree—it doesn’t necessarily mean I’m wrong! Likewise, not everything said about me is accurate. I’ve had my share of ups and downs, and I believe that sharing these experiences can really help me express my feelings, no matter if I’m feeling great or a bit down.

And one more important thing, I’m not representing other entity, and it’s only me and my own brand SoftwareArchitect.ID.

Initially, this Substack was written in Bahasa Indonesia, but many friends have asked me to write in English for a wider audience. If you come across Indonesian content, you can always translate it using Google Translate. I tried to write the previous Indonesian content in correct and formal language, which should be easier to translate.

If you find my content interesting, feel free to subscribe. Don't worry, I won’t spam you with marketing materials. It will consist purely of my notes, thoughts, and past project learning points, as well as likely incorporate people's experiences (I may occasionally collaborate on joint publishing with other architects).
