Portal Satu Data

Open data portal for Ministry of Education.

Homepage Portal Satu Data

Portal Satu Data is an official open data portal for Indonesia’s Ministry of Education, Culture, Research, and Technology (Kemdikbud). I was the sole web engineer on the team — responsible for taking the product from zero to one, making every frontend architecture decision along the way.

Beyond the main portal, I also built a custom CMS from scratch to support the editorial team managing the data and publications. And on top of that, I led the SEO strategy for the project, working to make Indonesia’s national education data actually discoverable by the people who need it.

Public sector software is a different world from startup or product work. The constraints are real: strict data governance, accessibility requirements, users spread across the country on widely varying connectivity, and a need to represent official government data accurately. Getting the details wrong here isn’t just a UX problem — it’s a governance one. Being the only web engineer meant owning all of that end to end, which was both demanding and deeply rewarding.
