A dispatch from Sendiko

Hello, I'm Sendiko

Short introduction about me, excited to share more things in the future!

Hello, I'm Sendiko

Hello, I'm Sendiko

Welcome to my corner of the web! I am Muhammad Rizky Sendiko, a software engineer, tinkerer, and multiplatform application builder based in Indonesia.

After completing my diploma in Application Software Engineering (D3 Rekayasa Perangkat Lunak Aplikasi) at Telkom University, where I also served as both a teaching assistant and laboratory assistant, I decided to set up blog.sendiko.dev. This space serves as a central hub where I can document my projects, technical findings, and daily experiments across development, self-hosting, and hardware customization.

What I Build & How I Work

My primary focus revolves around mobile and full-stack software development. I enjoy taking ideas from initial concepts, user flows, and architecture designs all the way to production.

  • Mobile Development: I specialize in cross-platform and multiplatform ecosystems, primarily using Kotlin Multiplatform (KMP), Compose Multiplatform, Jetpack Compose, and Flutter. I focus on clean architecture, consistent UI state management, and seamless platform integrations across Android and iOS.
  • Backend Architecture: On the backend, I design APIs and server workflows using NestJS, Node.js / Express.js, Ktor, TypeScript, and ORMs like Sequelize.
  • DevOps & Infrastructure: My interest in infrastructure extends into managing self-hosted homelab environments. I regularly containerize apps using Docker & Docker Compose, route traffic via Nginx reverse proxies, and set up reverse SSH tunnels to expose internal services securely.

Recent Projects & Work

Over the past few years, I’ve had the chance to design and launch a variety of applications and tools:

  • Penghitung Sembako: A mobile application designed for grocery calculations with cloud authentication and local offline-first caching capabilities.
  • AJAK: A web-based assistant platform designed to simplify tax regulation awareness for Indonesian small and medium enterprises (SMEs).
  • MANTA: A smart city security proposal (PKM-GFT) focused on real-time urban crime prediction using deep learning models.
  • MyPatroli: A mobile-first web tool built for university lab assistants to handle inventory tracking and lost-and-found management.
  • Minecraft Tunnel CLI: A CLI menu utility built in Kotlin to automate reverse SSH tunneling for local Minecraft LAN hosting.

Beyond Code: Hardware & Daily Tinkering

When I'm away from the IDE, I usually engage in hands-on hobbies:

  1. Self-Hosted Homelab: Running local services like Nextcloud, Stirling-PDF, and custom databases on my own server setup, frequently switching between Fedora Server, Fedora Workstation, macOS, and Nobara Linux.
  2. Mechanical Keyboards: Customizing and tuning mechanical keyboards—including switch mods, keycap swaps, and dampening configurations (currently using a tuned Rexus Daxa M100 Pro).
  3. Motorcycle Maintenance: Wrenching on my 2006 Suzuki Satria F150, maintaining everything from carburetors and intake manifolds to front fork suspensions.
  4. Brewing Coffee: Perfecting Moka pot extractions and exploring local Indonesian specialty coffee beans, especially Aceh Gayo, Bali Kintamani, and Kopi Luwak.

What to Expect on This Blog

blog.sendiko.dev will be a blend of technical walkthroughs, developer tutorials, self-hosting logs, and occasional write-ups on hardware customization or game mechanics.

Whether you're here to read about multiplatform app architecture, Nginx configurations, or homelab workflows, I hope you find something useful here. Thanks for stopping by!

Thanks for reading.
