About Muchammad Gema Akbar

I’m Muchammad Gema Akbar, a backend engineer based in Jakarta, Indonesia. I enjoy turning complex product requirements into systems that are reliable, understandable, and ready to grow.

My work is centered on Go, service architecture, payments, and database performance. At Paper, I contribute to backend infrastructure for B2B payment and invoicing flows used by Indonesian SMEs.

I’m also interested in practical applications of AI: tools that help people learn, reduce repetitive work, or make useful knowledge easier to access.
