About ME

Senior Full Stack Developer & OJS Specialist

I'm Ridho, a senior developer focused on building strong digital infrastructure for scientific publishing. My current professional direction is centered on journal publishing systems, scholarly communication platforms, and custom solutions built around Open Journal Systems (OJS).

Right now, I specialize in developing publication systems for academic journals, including custom OJS templates for versions 3.3, 3.4, and 3.5, as well as custom plugins and workflow extensions that support editorial management, submission processes, peer review, production, and online publication.

const expertise = { focus: "Scientific journal publishing", ojs: "3.3 / 3.4 / 3.5 customization", plugins: "Custom OJS plugins & workflow extensions", stack: "PHP, JavaScript, SQL, UI/UX, DevOps" };

My work includes designing publication-ready interfaces, adapting OJS themes to institutional branding, improving user experience for authors, editors, and reviewers, and building custom features that support academic journal operations more effectively.

I help institutions, journals, and research communities build publication systems that are not only functional, but also professional, scalable, and aligned with modern editorial workflows.
