I started building websites in 2004. Made my first commercial corporate profile in 2007. Started binding leather journals by hand in 2010. Got pulled into industrial pump engineering because someone needed a system designed and I could not say no.

Twenty years later, I run three companies simultaneously: an industrial engineering firm, a pump integration company, and a handmade leather journal brand that grew from craft practice into a registered PT with institutional clients including EFEO Paris and the KPK.

I am not a specialist who went wide. I am a generalist who went deep. In each direction, far enough that the work became institutional.

The through-line

Every domain I work in follows the same pattern: understand the system, build the infrastructure, let it compound. Whether the system is a hydraulic pump network, a book conservation workflow, or entity infrastructure, the method is the same.

I design for durability. The journals I make are archival-grade. The pump systems I spec are built for decades of operation. The digital systems I build are designed to accumulate authority over years, not chase traffic spikes.

Alongside this, I publish Indonesian-language books on consumer finance and run tools.hibranwar.com, a separate catalog of free calculators and simulators that accompany those books.

Where I work from

Bogor, West Java. Project sites across Cileungsi, Bekasi, and Jakarta. The industrial work takes me to factories and facilities. The craft work happens in the Hibrkraft workshop. The digital work happens everywhere.

Recognition

Wall of Talents, West Java, for sustained contributions to creative economy development. Jury member for UMKM Award Competition under HIPMI Kabupaten Bogor. Speaker and trainer for government programmes across Bogor Regency since 2020. Full speaking record.

Systems I've built

40+ digital systems since 2004. Not counting client work. These are tools I built because I needed them.

Company Websites

hibranwar.com, witanabe.com, ptarsindo.com, hibrkraft.com + 5 subdomains. All self-built, no templates.

AI & Automation

Content pipeline, video maker, research agent, SEO tools, social media automation, whitepaper generator. 9 tools.

Business Tools

Invoice maker, quotation parser, CMS platforms, engineering pipeline tracker. Built for the companies I run.

Even the AI agent building this site had a hard time picking photos from 1.6 million files across my archives. That is what twenty years of documentation looks like when it accumulates faster than anyone can curate it.
