Muhammad Fajar Ariandi — designer, developer, and AI creator working across web development, networking, and IoT. Building fast, considered digital products.
Designingand building at the edge of network and intelligence
I work where design, code, and infrastructure meet — turning ambiguous problems into products people can actually use.
I'm Fajar, a designer and developer based in Indonesia. My work sits at an unusual intersection: I design interfaces, write the front-end that ships them, and then build the network and IoT infrastructure they run on. That range means I can take an idea from a blank canvas through to a device on a wall that's reporting live data.
I started in networking — configuring routers, deploying fibre, standing up CCTV and Starlink links in places where connectivity is genuinely hard. That work taught me to care about reliability before elegance. Over time I moved toward building the software layer on top: dashboards, monitoring tools, and the interfaces that make infrastructure legible to the people operating it.
These days I spend most of my time in the modern web stack — TypeScript, React, Next.js — and increasingly with AI tooling as part of the build process rather than a novelty. I use it to move faster on the parts of a project that are mechanical, so more of my attention goes to the parts that need judgement.
From field network engineering to full-stack product work — a path built on shipping things that have to keep working after the install team leaves.
Currently — Open to full-time roles and freelance projectsFive disciplines, one toolkit
Design, code, AI, networking, and IoT. The range is deliberate — it means a project can go from interface to installed hardware without changing hands.

Things I've built and shipped
Web platforms, AI tooling, network infrastructure, and IoT deployments — with the problem and the reasoning behind each.
A path through the stack
From field installation to full-stack product work — each role added a layer rather than replacing the last.

IoT & Network Engineer
Project IoT BGN — PERURI
Deployed and configured IoT device networks for a national-scale monitoring programme, working alongside PERURI as the delivery partner.
- Configured and commissioned IoT device fleets across multiple sites, including sensor calibration and gateway provisioning.
- Built the network layer — addressing, DHCP scoping, and segmented access — so devices report reliably over constrained links.
- Documented deployment procedures that reduced on-site setup time for subsequent batches.
