My Story

Where it
all begins.

01

Where I Came From

Many people believe pesantren and technology are worlds apart. I don't. I grew up inside those walls — and I chose to build anyway.

02

Why I Build

And every product I build is my way of proving otherwise. Technology should serve everyone — not just those who already have access to it.

03

What I Believe

Good solutions don't require a Silicon Valley address. Innovation can come from anywhere — including from inside the walls of a pesantren in Yogyakarta.

Who I Am

Building technology
that creates meaningful impact.

I am Ulil Ilzam, a Mobile Developer from Indonesia with a passion for building technology that creates meaningful impact. I specialize in Flutter and Supabase, but more importantly, I enjoy solving problems that matter.

Especially in education, local communities, and places where technology has yet to make a significant impact. My work is driven by a simple belief: the right tool, in the right hands, can transform lives.

My Journey

From pesantren
to product builder.

2018
Entered Pesantren
Began my education in a traditional Islamic boarding school in Yogyakarta — a world far from Silicon Valley, but full of curiosity.
2022
Discovered Programming
First contact with code. Realized that technology could be a tool for people — not just corporations.
2023 — 2025
Learning Flutter & Programming Fundamentals
Three years of deep focus — mastering Flutter, Dart, state management, backend integration, and the mindset of building real products.
2025
Launched First Real Products
Shipped Matholek, Ihram App (Play Store & Huawei AppGallery), Santap POS, a community donation platform, and an interactive campus virtual tour.
2026 — Now
Applying to Apple Developer Academy
Aiming to learn human-centered design, product thinking — and create technology that empowers communities.

I want to prove that students from pesantren can become innovators — and create technology that changes lives.

Every product I build is a small step toward that mission. Not just writing code, but solving real problems for real people in communities that need it most.

How I Build

Building with purpose
and craft.

From mobile to backend — guided by product thinking and a focus on people.

01

Mobile Development

Cross-platform apps for iOS & Android with a native feel. Smooth animations, intuitive layouts, and performance that users actually notice.

Flutter Dart Native feel
02

Backend & Data

Scalable backends with Supabase — real-time subscriptions, Row Level Security, Edge Functions, and storage. Production-ready without the overhead.

Supabase Realtime RLS
03

Product Thinking

Technology starts with people. I research, iterate, and design for users — especially those in education and communities often overlooked by mainstream apps.

Human-centered Research UX
04

Problem Solving

I don't just write code — I solve problems. From academic systems to crowdfunding platforms, the question I always ask first is: what does this person actually need?

Education Communities Digital transformation
05

Web Development

Building interactive web experiences with Vue.js — component-driven, responsive, and fast. Whether it's a donation platform, a virtual tour, or a web dashboard, I bring the same care for people and performance to every screen.

Products I've
built.

Each project starts with a real problem. Here's the process behind each one — not just the result.

My Dream

I dream of a future where students from pesantren are not seen as people left behind by technology.

I want to help create that future.

By building products that empower schools, communities, and inspire others to believe that innovation can come from anywhere.

Including pesantren.

Currently Exploring

A work in progress.
Always.

Human-Centered Design

Learning to build with empathy first — understanding people's needs deeply before writing a single line of code.

SwiftUI & Apple Ecosystem

Exploring native iOS development — building apps that truly belong on Apple hardware, not just cross-platform simulations.

Product Thinking

Moving beyond features — understanding why products succeed or fail, and how to make decisions that serve real users.

Educational Technology

Researching how digital tools can transform learning in schools and pesantren — especially for communities with limited resources.

Digital Transformation for Pesantren

Understanding how to bring technology into traditional Islamic educational institutions — with respect for their culture and values.

Community Empowerment

Exploring how technology can enable communities to solve their own problems — not just receive solutions from the outside.

What I'm Proud Of

Not the best developer.
But a builder with purpose.

01

I built apps used by real people — not just side projects that never ship.

02

I come from a pesantren background and continue to pursue technology every single day.

03

I believe innovation can happen anywhere — and I live that belief through every product I build.

04

I keep learning, one product at a time — and I'm not afraid to admit how much I still have to grow.

Contact

Let's build something
meaningful.

Whether it's a product, an idea, or a mission — I'm always excited to collaborate and learn.
