hi, i'm heru gunawan.

and i'll be honest with you:

i'm deep in an identity crisis—
yes, a proper, dramatic, who-even-am-i kind of thing.

not entirely sure how i've been presenting
(or, let's be honest, pretending) myself to the world.

so i made this website.

it's not a portfolio. not a blog.
definitely not a digital garden—
unless you count corpse flowers and weeds.

it's just a messy home
for the things that spill out of my brain:
technical guides for building stuff,
tiny chunks of code i keep forgetting,
and the occasional unhinged take on books or life or whatever.

basically,
this is where i throw things that don’t fit anywhere else.

by day,

i’m a frontend developer with a very committed relationship
to googling error messages.

i push pixels, write bugs, and occasionally solve things on purpose.

by night,

i read strange essays,
overthink the universe,
and stare out windows like a background character in a low-budget indie film.

this site won’t change your life.
but if you’re here—curious, lost, or just bored—
you’re very welcome to poke around.

make yourself at home in the chaos.
