About Me
The short version of who I am, what I do, and why I love it.
Who Am I?
Wahid Hidayat
Hey! I’m Wahid Hidayat — a project manager who actually knows how to code. Based in Central Java, Indonesia, I’m currently finishing my Computer Science degree at Universitas Negeri Semarang. I started out deep in the technical side — building mobile apps, training ML models, and shipping full-stack products. But somewhere along the way, I realized I’m at my best when I’m connecting the dots: aligning teams, making sure the right things get built, and keeping projects on track from kickoff to launch. That technical background? It’s my superpower. I can speak both “engineer” and “stakeholder,” and I know what’s realistic when it comes to timelines, architecture, and trade-offs. Whether it’s leading a cross-functional team or jumping into code reviews, I bring a hands-on approach to every project I manage. Always learning, always building — let’s make something great together!
