Hi I'm Ahmad Rosid
I work at Orchids.app YC W25 as Software Engineer, we build AI Agent to make a website without writing code. Basically we are the competitor of Lovable.
About Me
I live in Indonesia. I'm a high school graduate—no degree, no formal education in computer science. Here, companies won't even look at you without a bachelor's degree. I couldn't get hired anywhere in my country.
So I did what I had to do. I taught myself to code. Late nights, countless tutorials, building project after project. I started looking abroad—applying to hundreds of remote jobs, getting rejected over and over, until finally someone in the US took a chance on me. That was 8 years ago. Since then, I've been working remotely with companies in the US and Australia as a Software Engineer.
