about
I am a computer science student and builder working at the intersection of technology and business strategy. My center of gravity is systems: products, workflows, and architectures that create leverage, reduce friction, and turn judgment into real outcomes. That has pulled me across product engineering, full-stack development, machine learning, and business-case problem solving, not because I am trying to collect disciplines, but because the most interesting problems rarely respect clean category boundaries. I have worked in product roles such as Lazuardy Tech and Lapor FSM!, been selected into highly filtered environments like COMPFEST 17, IDCamp, and DBS Foundation Coding Camp, and built a track record through national-level wins in both technology and business strategy. The throughline across all of it is simple: I want to build things that matter, I want to understand why they matter, and I want the final result to hold up beyond presentation, narrative, or surface-level polish.
The part of me that I have taken furthest is obsession itself. At 20, I have already lived through several hard resets of identity, but the underlying pattern has never changed: once I commit, I go all in. In elementary school I was an athlete competing across football, sprinting, long jump, turbo throw, sepak takraw, and almost every track-and-field event available to me, winning at regional level while still staying near the top academically. Nobody told me to do that. I just committed fully. In middle school I walked away from athletics, drifted, got into trouble, and still kept finding my way back to performance. In high school I entered one of the top schools in my city from the bottom of the ranking board and finished as the top-ranked male student. Even when I fractured my femur in 2025, I kept my academic standard intact, completed a coding camp, continued placing in competitions through recovery, and never stopped getting better day by day.
That is the real pattern behind how I build now: athlete, student, engineer, founder — different domains, same obsession. I tend to enter rooms from the bottom and leave near the top. The athlete part is no longer literal, but it still shapes how I approach problems, how long I stay in, and how comfortable I am being uncomfortable. That is why I care so much about high agency, stamina, discomfort tolerance, and real outcomes over performative process. I am most interested in building with people who have skin in the game and who care less about appearing impressive than about making something undeniable. That is the kind of work, standard, and long-term compounding I want my life to be built around.
“I had the opportunity to manage Sulhan directly, and what stands out most about him is his extremely high agency and sharp taste in building startup projects. He does not wait to be told what to do. He takes ownership, moves fast, and figures things out independently while maintaining strong standards for quality and user experience. Sulhan combines solid technical capability in web and machine learning with a builder mindset that prioritizes impact over noise. He is thoughtful in decision-making, detail-oriented in execution, and ambitious in scope. In fast-moving environments where clarity is limited and expectations are high, he consistently steps up and delivers beyond what is asked. Any team building serious products would benefit from having him at the core of execution.”
