About Me

Hi there! I'm Randi Ramli. My online alias was taken from my middle name without the first and last letter. My name is Dicha Zelianivan Arkana. I'm a 17 y/o Asian boi who loves to build websites (or any software related things at this point) and contribute to any open source projects that I like.

I've been learning web development since roughly around 2019. I understand the basic of HTML, CSS, and JS quite well. I'm still learning about React/Next, Svelte, and Typescript but felt quite comfortable enoguh to use them daily. I've been learning Lua and Golang recently. I was focusing on learning Rust previously but I decided to focus on Golang Instead. I still code Rust every now and then but just because I like it, not planning any exciting stuff with it. I now want to do more serious stuff with Rust instead of Go, after using Go for a while, I think I prefer Rust ;)

I live in a beautiful country called Indonesia. I can speak Indonesian natively (obviously), and English quite fluently. I am currently learning Japanese because I want to be able to speak a language that uses a different writing system.

If you want to reach me then feel free to hit me up on Twitter or Discord @elianiva#1558. Though I'm rarely active on those two. I only use Twitter to simp over Vtubers and retweet some arts that I like despite having no followers lmao. Reason why is I want to "save" them so I can just scroll through my profile and see some good arts. I barely use Discord. I just open it every now and then, that's about it. I am trying to use Discord more often lately though. Or you can just email me, I check my email quite often.

My Website

I made this website so I can post stuff that I learned and share it to other people. I also use this as a note to myself because believe it or not, I sometimes forgot stuff that I did. By having this website, I can just revisit what I've done in the past.

I use Sapper and MDSveX to build this website and it's hosted on Vercel. If you want more detail about my website the you might want to read this post where I explain the process of making this site.

The picture that you see on the home page is Ryuko Matoi from Kill La Kill. It was commissioned from Enzore, such a cool artist. Do yourself a favour by checking his artworks! I took it from my github profile so that might change in the future. Also, if you noticed the icon for my website, it's a shitty drawing of derp eyed Ryuko that I made a while back. I like to draw every now and then just for fun.

My Setup

My laptop is Thinkpad X220. I use Linux as my Operating System. Archlinux to be more specific. I've used Linux since around Q3 of 2019. I spent most of my time inside terminal and rest of it inside a browser or random GUI app. I prefer using my keyboard over my mouse everywhere if possible (except browsing the internet, mouse is way better)

I use a Window Manager called AwesomeWM, such an awesome window manager. I also use a text editor called Neovim. I've been using it fulltime since around Q4 of 2019. It's actually my first text editor that I feel comfortable with and do something serious hence I can't relate when people say "VIM has a high learning curve" :p I started using it when I got my first laptop. After using it for quite a while my config is has grown quite a lot. It is now written in lua and is quite lengthy. I've written some post explaining some of my config if you're interested on that. Anyway, here's my dotfiles if you want.

Well, I guess that's about it. Thanks for visiting my website and I hope you found something useful from my site. Have a wonderful day! =)
