hi, i'm heru gunawan,

and i'll be honest with you.

i'm in the middle of an identity crisis—yes, a proper, dramatic, who-am-i kind of deal. not sure how i've been presenting (or, let's be honest, pretending) myself to the world.

so i created this delightful mess of a website—a home for my scatterbrained thoughts, random experiments, and occasional epiphanies.

this isn't some fancy blogging platform, not a meticulously curated digital garden (mine's more corpse flowers than seeds), and definitely not a shiny portfolio screaming "hire me."

you'll find here, if you care to poke around, are things like technical guides for building stuff, tiny chunks of reusable code, or my highly questionable takes on books.

about that identity crisis...

by day, i'm just your average frontend wrangler—a proud, slightly sluggish typist with a degree in “googling error messages and hoping for the best.”

call me a button-clicking enthusiast (no, i don't use vim—i'm not ready for that kind of emotional commitment). but hey, this digital jungle of mine? it's where the chaos feels like home.

and by night? well, i'm wide awake, questioning life, reading essays on random topics, and dreaming of someday living my life like a poetic indie movie character. so far, i've nailed the “staring dramatically out the window” part.
