DiDesa - Digitalisasi Desa
Village Information System
DiDesa is an interactive application as a means of Village Information System to support its effectiveness in information media facilities. In this system there is information about the village, means of advertising UMKM, news for local residents, and village head elections.
As the project leader of DiDesa – Digitalisasi Desa, I was responsible for overseeing the entire development process from concept to deployment. The project began as an academic requirement and evolved into a fully functional digital platform aimed at transforming how villages manage and share information.
My role included conducting research to understand community needs, defining functional and non-functional requirements, and translating them into a sustainable digital ecosystem. I led the design of the system architecture, ensuring scalability, usability, and accessibility for both administrators and residents.
On the technical side, I implemented a multi-platform solution consisting of a Next.js web interface, a React Native mobile application, and a Node.js (Express) backend connected to a PostgreSQL database. Each component was built with a focus on reliability, performance, and ease of maintenance.
Through DiDesa, I aimed to create a digital environment that empowers local communities, facilitates information transparency, promotes small businesses (UMKM), and supports civic participation through digital governance.
