About Me

Photo of Muhammad Grandiv Lava Putra

My name is Muhammad Grandiv Lava Putra

I'm from Yogyakarta, Indonesia and currently working as a Chief Technology Officer & Software Engineer, with a focus on microservices architecture and system design and DevOps engineering, using technologies like Go, Node.js, TypeScript, React, Next.js, PostgreSQL, MongoDB, Redis, Kafka, Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Nginx, Microservices, Solidity, Machine Learning .

I'm the Chief Technology Officer of ArachnoVa, a software house, where I lead a small engineering team to ideate, build, and operate production platforms for real clients. I'm also a final-year S1 Information Technology student at Universitas Gadjah Mada (expected 2026), and ArachnoVa was selected as a Startup Grant 2026 recipient by Innovative Academy UGM.

I architect scalable microservices systems in Go and Node.js — including KreaZcy, an in-house engine of 15+ composable services that new client products are assembled from. My work spans high-traffic ticketing (RoeTix, now powering 20+ clients across cities with 99.9% uptime), applied AI/ML (Kolosal Perfect Score), and Web3 (Credora on Mantle, NazarETH on Base).

My undergraduate thesis, "Hybrid Trust Architecture for Agentic AI: Integrating Verifiable Credentials and Soulbound Tokens," is planned for publication at ICSCSS 2027 (ACM). I care about robust, production-ready systems — comprehensive documentation, automated testing, and design-led, human-centered product craft.

More About Me

  • What technologies do I use?

    I specialize in full-stack development and DevOps with a strong focus on backend engineering. I work with Go and Node.js for backend services, TypeScript for type-safe development, React and Next.js for frontend applications. For databases, I use PostgreSQL and MongoDB. I'm experienced with DevOps tools like Docker, Kubernetes, Nginx, Redis, and Kafka for building scalable microservices architectures with CI/CD automation.

  • My Experience

    I have extensive experience as a Backend Engineer and Full-Stack Developer at ArachnoVa, where I've architected multiple microservices platforms for high-traffic applications. I've built event ticketing systems handling 1,000+ concurrent users with 99.9% uptime, enterprise ERP systems with 8+ microservices, and SaaS platforms with payment gateway integrations. I also completed an internship at Telkom Indonesia working on SD-WAN and neuCentrIX services, and won First Runner-Up in the COMPFEST 16 AI Innovation Challenge against 300+ teams nationally.

  • My Education

    I'm currently pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology at Gadjah Mada University in Yogyakarta, Indonesia (Expected graduation: 2026). My relevant coursework includes Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Web Development, Artificial Intelligence, Database Technology, Object-oriented Programming, and Data Structures & Algorithms. I've also completed specialized training including RUST Language Training, Advanced Deep Learning with Keras, Mobile Development Bootcamp (Best Project Award), and Web Development certifications. I continuously expand my knowledge through self-learning and staying current with emerging technologies.

  • How do I work in a team?

    I have experience working in multidisciplinary teams as both a Technical Lead and Team Leader. I've led development teams through complex projects, implementing agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban. I use Git/GitHub for version control, GitHub Actions for CI/CD automation, and project management tools to facilitate collaboration. I emphasize comprehensive technical documentation, code reviews, and establishing clear communication channels to ensure successful project delivery and knowledge sharing across the team.

  • Agile Methodologies

    I have worked with agile methodologies like Scrum and Kanban. In Scrum, I participated in two-week sprints, where at the end of each sprint I would create a pull request (PR) with my work, which went through a review and correction phase before being merged and sent to production. I have also worked with Kanban, using boards to manage tasks and move them according to their progress status. Additionally, I participated in daily meetings (dailies) to plan and report project progress, ensuring efficient communication within the team.
