I ship production code from a place most SaaS never reaches.
I'm Franky Rifdul Mannan, a frontend engineer at Guestpedia, a hospitality tech company building a PMS, channel manager, booking engine, and AI revenue tools for hotels. Over the past year I've built more than half of the PMS frontend: the AI Pricing Manager, Night Audit, Room & Rate management, Group Reservations, Guest Management, and the reporting/export layer.
I work fully remotely from Gili Raja, a small island off Madura, East Java. The grid here only runs at night, so my workday runs on a solar power system I designed and am building myself, which also became a side project: a real-time monitoring dashboard for it. Constraints like a 13-hour daily power gap and a wireless ISP make you very deliberate about tooling, offline resilience, and not wasting a single deploy.
Before tech, I ran a small retail store. I studied Informatics at Universitas Amikom Yogyakarta (cum laude), went through a full stack bootcamp at Harisenin.com, and I'm currently expanding from frontend into full stack: Laravel and Node.js on the backend, React Native on mobile.
Outside code:I'm a heavy reader of novels, comics, and manhwa.
