Experience

OpenAPI Specification to DOCX File Converter

https://github.com/weisurya/go-openapi-converter
A command-line interface (CLI) tool converts an OpenAPI Specification (OAS) file into a .docx-based document.

I wrote this simple tool to solve the problem whereby there is no existing platform for developers and non-developers to define the API specification. By converting the specification into .docx, the document could be uploaded and opened via Google Docs, and then both developers and non-developers could collaborate there.

Fraud-detection System

This fraud-detection system uses several Python- and Go-based microservices as well as those powered with PostgreSQL and RabbitMQ.

I worked as the system designer and engineer to build the system with other engineers and data scientists to define the requirement for machine learning models and heuristic-based rules. The system consists of a core service, an online feature aggregation service, a rule management service, and a data enrichment service. This system helps to filter out suspicious transactions from legitimate ones.

CLI-based Crawlers for Indonesian Stock Markets

https://github.com/weisurya/stockie
A Go-based application to simplify the analysis process for investment decision-making. This idea came up based on my experience where I conducted analysis in a Google Sheet from manually pulled data, plotted and calculated the data, and classified the data based on my interpretation. It took a lot of time even for a single company. In order to simplify this investment process, I create a system that targets several milestones:

• Enable the collection of raw information and clean and store it as tabular data (bronze and silver data).
• Use the clean data to make calculations and visualization (silver and gold data).
• Build a UI-based platform and automate report generation for each company to simplify the decision-making process.
