Muhammad Aditya Hilmy

Hi there! My name is Muhammad Aditya Hilmy, and I’m a software engineer from Indonesia. And I think open source is awesome.

Me, in a nutshell

To be honest, it’s a bit hard for me to describe myself. I’m afraid that I would understate or overstate myself, but I’ll try my best.

I’m currently an undergraduate student in Bandung Institute of Technology, majoring in Information Systems and Technology. I love coding since I was a kid, but recently I realized that what I really love is the thrill of being able to solve problems with code--to see my ideas come to life, even if it’s just a simple Hello World.

I’m a naturally curious person, so I like to tinker around trying new technologies of various categories. I’ve tried frontend dev, backend dev, mobile dev, infrastructure tools like Kubernetes, even smart card programming in Java Card. In addition, I also like participating in Capture the Flag competitions, designing good-looking UI for fun, and some other stuff.

Sometimes, I would Google articles from other domains of knowledge to expand my knowledge. Recently, I have taken interest in learning about the human immune system. I’m doing all of this because I’m trying to understand how the world works.

Below is my amateur drawing of the immune system fighting the SARS-CoV-2 virus. As you can see, I’m not really good at drawing.

My Work

I actually do lots of side projects, but most of them are either too insignificant, or wasn’t GitHub worthy. Here’s some of my work that I’d like to showcase.

Rucio JupyterLab Extension

This is a JupyterLab extension that integrates with Rucio, CERN’s data management platform. I worked on this as a part of GSoC 2020.

Open Source Contributions to Mattermost

This is my first real contribution in the world of open source. I used Mattermost during GSoC and I thought it would be fun to send a couple of PRs.

PR #6596 · PR #6601 · PR #6608 · PR #6632

Open Source Contributions to Nextstrain

Since the pandemic began, I have found a new interest in bioinformatics. Contributing a small patch to Nextstrain is really a way for me to explore that.
