Hello dev.to! My First Article – Who I Am and What I Build

Hi everyone! 👋

This is my very first article on dev.to, and I’m excited to finally introduce myself to this amazing community of developers, makers, and tech enthusiasts.

👨‍💻 Who Am I?

My name is Heri, and I’m a passionate developer, entrepreneur, and lifelong learner. I work mostly with:

JavaScript / Node.js

PHP (CodeIgniter)

SQL Server

React (for frontend projects)

Aside from coding, I also love exploring automation, building real-time systems with WebSockets, and integrating APIs for digital products like top-ups, billing systems, and more.

I run a project called MAXsi.ID, where I provide digital services like mobile top-ups, bill payments, voucher sales, and even smart farming tools.

🚀 Why I’m Here

I’ve been reading articles on dev.to for a while, and I’ve learned so much from this community. Now, I want to give back — by:

Sharing my coding experiences and bugs I’ve fixed

Writing about building real-world systems in JavaScript & PHP

Exploring automation workflows for business use cases

Discussing farming tech and how I merge tech with agriculture

🧠 Topics I Plan to Write About

In future posts, I want to cover:

How I automated payment processing using WebSockets + MSSQL

SEO-friendly content generation for static sites

Smart farming using ESP32 + MQTT + Node.js

How I built a live product dashboard with React and Tailwind

Developer tips for working with APIs and scheduled cron tasks

💬 Let’s Connect!

I’m always open to collaborate or learn from others. If you’re working on:

DevOps for digital businesses

Farm tech or IoT + agriculture

Or just want to talk code...

...feel free to comment, follow me, or say hey! 🙌
