About

I'm Sofyan. I'm currently in vocational school, but since 2024 I've been following one consistent pattern: learn fast, build output, then refine the foundation so it can be used long-term.

I initially explored areas around digital business and money: AI, marketing, e-commerce, analytics. It didn't take long to realize that theory alone doesn't move the needle. That's when I started looking for environments that forced me to build systems and make real decisions.

In early 2025, I began trading intraday with a breakout focus. Not for lifestyle or hype, but as a discipline exercise: rules, sessions, risk-reward. Around the same time, my coding journey started. I built a WhatsApp bot using Baileys, created SofyanTech as a way to practice packaging skills, and experimented with simple chatbots, choosing my own approach instead of following tutorials blindly.

Q2 2025 became builder mode. I built a portfolio site, worked with Pine Script, and entered the world of MT5 expert advisors for XAUUSD. That phase taught me something important: without clean data and proper statistics, AI is just an expensive accessory.

By mid 2025, my focus shifted toward engineering. I built a sales dashboard using Streamlit and Python, started caring about project structure, and restarted my foundation using Docker. I wanted systems that were reproducible and reliable, not something that only worked on my laptop.

Outside of technical work, I stay realistic. I save regularly, think about investment paths appropriate for my age, and have applied for part-time work near home. For me, skills need to meet the real world. Otherwise they stay theoretical.

This website is where I document what I build, what I test, and what I learn - the things that actually matter.

If you want to see what I'm working on, check the Projects and Notes sections.

I prefer quiet progress over loud intentions.

Journey

  • 2024Explored AI, digital marketing, e-commerce, and analytics. Started thinking long-term instead of chasing trends.
  • Jan-Feb 2025Entered intraday trading (breakout focus) while starting to code: WhatsApp bot (Baileys), SofyanTech, chatbot experiments.
  • Mar-Jun 2025Builder mode: portfolio website, Pine Script, MT5 EA for XAUUSD. Started thinking in systems (RR, time filters, SL/TP).
  • May-Aug 2025Shift toward data engineering: Streamlit + Python dashboards, project structure, foundation reset, Docker.
  • 2026Consolidation phase: personal website, personal brand, cleaner execution, and technical details such as trading timezone handling.
