My Story

My fascination with technology began in 2006. Despite the limited resources available at that time, I was captivated by the incredible potential computers offered. Each opportunity to explore and learn felt like stepping into the future, sparking a curiosity that would shape my path forward.

In 2007, I began exploring Linux operating systems as an alternative to Windows, which was widely used throughout Indonesia. This exploration into open-source software opened my eyes to a whole new philosophy of computing and community-driven development. I became increasingly fascinated by open source projects, drawn to their collaborative nature and the freedom they offered to modify and improve software. This experience further deepened my technical knowledge and instilled in me a strong appreciation for community-driven innovation.

In 2008, I created my first blog using Blogspot. This simple platform became my gateway into the world of web development. I found myself not just writing content, but also experimenting with HTML and CSS to customize my blog's appearance, which ignited my passion for web development and digital creation.

As the years passed, I continued to expand my knowledge across various technologies and programming languages. The recent emergence of artificial intelligence has been particularly exciting for me. Watching AI evolve from experimental concepts to practical tools that reshape industries has reinforced my belief in technology's transformative power.

Today, I continue to explore the intersection of web development and emerging technologies, focusing on creating scalable, user-centered solutions that address real-world challenges. I'm currently working on a project to improve productivity tools and managing several websites for press/media companies.

Through MIQBAL.NET, I share insights from my journey, hoping to inspire others who, like me, see limitless possibilities in technology. Whether it's building responsive websites, experimenting with the latest frameworks, or exploring AI applications, my passion for technology remains the driving force behind my work.
