Conn-Act is a full-stack real-time communication platform designed to provide users with a fast, interactive, and seamless messaging experience.
I developed the application using React.js for the frontend and Node.js with Express.js for the backend, with PostgreSQL used for data management. The platform supports real-time messaging and communication through Socket.io, while JWT-based authentication provides secure user access and session management.
The project gave me hands-on experience in building responsive user interfaces, designing REST APIs, integrating frontend and backend services, managing relational data, implementing authentication, and developing real-time features using WebSockets.
Technologies: React.js, Node.js, Express.js, PostgreSQL, Socket.io, JWT, REST APIs

Paws & Pour: 3D Interactive Booking for Experiential Cafés 🐾
Business Name: Paws & Pour Cat Café
Location: Kemang, South Jakarta
Archetype: Appointment-based Experiential Café
Realistic Problems:
The solo owner is drowning in WhatsApp DMs and playing "table tetris" every single day. Customers don't just want any table; they want to sit near specific resident cats (like Mochi or Pepper). Additionally, due to high demand, the café strictly caps visits at 30, 60, or 90-minute sessions. This causes endless back-and-forth messaging, manual double-booking errors, and frustrated walk-ins.
I transformed a chaotic, manual DM-based reservation process into a self-serve, mobile-optimized 3D map, allowing guests to independently secure their exact table, time slot, and preferred cat companion instantly.
Fixing the Front Door :
To turn an inbound inquiry into a confirmed booking with zero effort from the owner, I completely redesigned the customer-facing booking flow. Instead of a boring, standard form, I built an immersive 3D seating map where customers can:
- Pick Their Vibe: Visually explore the café layout and select a specific cozy corner. See where their favorite resident cats are currently hanging out on the map.
- Lock in the Rules: Select precise session lengths (30, 60, or 90 minutes) during the booking process, automatically setting expectations.
- Book Anywhere: Experience a flawless, fully mobile-optimized booking journey directly from their phone.
The Impact:
The owner’s manual work goes from hours of coordinating schedules, answering DMs, and managing table assignments to zero. The real-time admin portal automatically handles availability, updates the seating chart, and tracks guest sessions. The owner can finally focus on running the café and taking care of the cats instead of staring at a screen.

3D interaction while booking looks great!
Designed two directions for a health tracking app
Same data, but two very different feelings
One is dark and focused, built for athletes. The other is warm and friendly, built for everyday people
What do you think?
Which one would you open every day, A or B?

Option 1 gave me a very fin-tech feel and option 2 feels like my health is in danger, sorry 😂
Finally sharing my new portfolio website.
I wanted to build something that feels like me — clean, interactive, and focused on the work rather than just listing skills.
Built from scratch with a focus on:
→ Clean UI
→ Smooth interactions
→ Responsive design
→ Clear project presentation
There’s still a lot I want to improve, but after a lot of designing, tweaking, and rebuilding, I’m genuinely happy to finally put it out there.

Really like the clean approach here. The focus on showcasing the actual work makes the portfolio feel much more engaging.
