About

Hi, I’m archbung 👋

I’m a backend engineer passionate about functional programming and type theory. I’ve been working as a mid-level backend engineer since August 2023 at Fazz, a large Indonesian fintech startup focused on financial inclusivity.

What I Do

While my day job involves Ruby on Rails, my heart belongs to the functional programming paradigm. I have a strong background in Haskell and I’m always exploring new functional languages like OCaml and Elixir. I enjoy tackling infrastructure and DevOps challenges, from rewriting deployment manifests to managing AWS database migrations.

What I Write About

On this blog, you’ll find posts about:

• Functional Programming: Deep dives into FP concepts, from basic principles to advanced type theory
• Real-world Applications: How to apply functional programming ideas in production environments
• Software Engineering: Thoughts on architecture, best practices, and career development
• Technical Explorations: My journey learning new languages and paradigms

My Philosophy

I believe in the power of strong type systems and pure functions to create more reliable, maintainable software. While pragmatism often wins in production, I think there’s immense value in understanding the theoretical foundations of what we do.

Beyond Code

When I’m not coding, I’m an Olympic weightlifting enthusiast with almost 2 years of training under my belt. I’m also a single dad to a wonderful 10-year-old daughter who shares my interest in technology (she loves Scratch!) and bouldering.
