About Me

Hey, I'm Ichsan. Most folks know me as icanq everywhere.

I'm currently the Tech Lead at Kotakode & KotakodeLab, where I lead our Developer and Project teams. I focus on learning and growing.


I am passionate about creating and teaching. Over the course of my career I've been fortunate to focus on helping making developers productive as first a developer working on core developer tools and then by being a developer advocate and program manager focusing on creating some boilerplates for that developers choose to use to create apps and API’s.

I thoroughly enjoy talking to clients, community members, and colleagues about what can help them write effective, secure, accessible, and performant code at a rapid pace. Beyond my joy of working as software engineer, I enjoy teaching and speaking. I've been working as full stack web developer facilitators at Binar Academy.

I've also gotten to teach workshops both in person and recorded online that have been viewed for decades of human-hours, most notably on Binar Academy and Hacktiv8. When not teaching or working, you can find me in Bogor, Indonesia. I enjoy traveling, working out on my rollerblades, playing online games, chat on discord and enjoying coffee.
