Programmer & Software Architect · Cileungsi, Bogor, Indonesia
Hi, I’m Shinjae Kang
I’m a programmer and software architect based in Cileungsi, Bogor, Indonesia. Since May 2026 I have been General Manager, AI Business at PT Fast Beauty Indonesia. Public writing and personal projects stay on zemna.net and GitHub.
The modoo-id GitHub organization holds Modoo Laravel/Vue SaaS projects I built. Modoo is a project name, not an employer.
I’ve lived and worked in Indonesia for more than 15 years: a Korean engineer operating in the Southeast Asian tech scene, connecting tools and business context across both worlds.

Professional focus
| Area | What I care about |

| Web product engineering | Laravel, VueJS, Tailwind CSS, PHP, and Modoo Laravel/Vue SaaS projects behind real business software. |
| AI operations | Agent workflows, verification gates, and the difference between a demo and a production-adjacent system. |
| DevOps & automation | Cron jobs, CI/CD, artifact checks, and workflows that prove they worked. |
| Desktop and legacy systems | .NET, C#, Windows utilities, serial communication tools, and older systems that still matter. |
| Regional context | Korea to Southeast Asia technology, teams, constraints, and opportunities. |
