My name is Ariya Hidayat. I live in Mountain View, California.
I am usually known through some popular software projects which I have started and/or maintain:
- PhantomJS, scriptable headless WebKit for browser automation
- Esprima, an extremely fast JavaScript parser written in JavaScript
- SpeedCrunch, high-precision usable desktop calculator
For more than a decade I have been involved with FOSS (free/open-source software) and contributed code to various high-profile large-scale software projects:
- WebKit (as a reviewer)
- Qt framework (when I was with Nokia)
- KDE (primarily on KOffice)
Every now and then I also speak at various developer conferences (Velocity Conf, Sencha Conference, Nokia Qt Developer Days, Intel AppUp Elements, Camp KDE, Bossa Conf, Linux Tag).
To help others learning new programming tips, I have published tons of code examples, covering the topics of graphics, WebKit, JavaScript, network, sensor, widgets, various demos, etc.
I am well versed in various hardware and software technologies, from digital micro-electronics to client-side web stack. I have a strong academic background but the same time I am also hands-on and practical. For more detailed info about my professional career, refer to my public LinkedIn profile.
