01Hello

Hi, I’m Wawan. I build the platforms other teams build on.

I’m a Platform Architect. I design backend systems that stay calm when traffic grows and stay simple when the team changes. Cheerful about the work, precise about the details.

Based in City, Indonesia [CONFIRM] · Open to roles / talks / projects [CONFIRM]

See what I do Say hello

02The name

WK is me. And 07 is July.

People ask about the name, so here is the short story. It has three parts.

My initials

Wawan Kurniawan. Short, simple, mine.

Just me

This is a person, not a company. One name for my work, my notes and my side projects.

July, and a band

I was born in July. Seven is also for Sheila on 7, a band I love.

The logo is seven bars that draw a W. The last bar is gold. The dot on top is a ball, because I still love football.

03What I do

Good foundations, so teams can ship.

In plain words: I design the shared parts that many teams use every day. When those parts are solid, everyone moves faster.

Design

Platform architecture

Service boundaries, APIs and data flows that make sense on day one and still make sense on day 1,000.

Build

Backend services

Go with Gin, Python with FastAPI, Node.js with Next.js. I pick the tool that fits the job, not the trend.

Enable

Developer experience [CONFIRM]

Templates, CI/CD and clear docs, so the right way is also the easy way.

Tools I use

  • Go · Gin
  • Python · FastAPI
  • Node.js · Next.js
  • Ruby on Rails earlier
  • Java · Spring Boot learning now

04Selected work

Case studies are warming up.

Still juggling.

05Off the clock

The rest of me.

Music

The band that never was

I once dreamed of starting a pop rock band. I still listen like I’m in one. Sheila on 7 is always on the playlist.

Football

Almost an athlete

As a kid I wanted to be an athlete. Now I play / watch [CONFIRM]. The bouncing dot in my logo is a keepie-uppie.

Someday

The Gulf

One day I want to live in the Gulf. The desert gold on this site is a small nod to that plan.

Every day

Better English

I’m improving my English, one conversation at a time. This site uses simple words on purpose.

06Now

What I’m doing these days.

  • Learning Java and Spring Boot, after years with Go, Python and Node.js.
  • Practising English every day.
  • Building this website, one small piece at a time.

Last updated Month 2026 [CONFIRM]
