About Baris Kode

Baris Kode is the trading name of PT Baris Kode Solution, an Indonesian software company based in Surabaya, East Java. We build websites, mobile and desktop apps, AI integrations and IoT systems, and we harden and audit Linux servers for businesses that need them to stay up and stay safe.

Our name means “line of code” in Indonesian. The slogan on our home page, solutions created from lines of code, is a fair summary of the job: we write the code ourselves, we read it before it ships, and we stay around to maintain it.

Who is behind Baris Kode

Baris Kode was founded by Alvif Sandana Mahardika, who leads the company and its engineering work. Alvif also writes and edits the articles on our blog, blog.bariskode.com, so the person answering your project inquiry is the same person whose notes on Linux, security, Go and Python you may already have read.

You can follow our work on GitHub and X.

What we do

  • Websites and web applications: company profiles, online stores and internal systems such as clinic management.
  • Mobile apps: Android apps built for real day-to-day use, including our own products.
  • Desktop apps: tools for offices that need to work offline or with local hardware.
  • Server security: hardening Linux servers, security audits, and scripts that keep checking configurations after we leave.
  • AI integrations: chatbots and language-model features connected to your own data and workflows.
  • IoT: monitoring and control systems for connected devices.
  • IT consultancy: help choosing infrastructure, planning a migration or reviewing an existing system.

What we have built

Two of our products are public, and both reflect how we like to build software:

  • MetaStrip is an Android app that shows the hidden metadata in photos and documents and saves a clean copy without it. Everything happens on the phone: no uploads, no ads, no tracking.
  • Hasteo is an Android app that auto-replies to WhatsApp and WhatsApp Business chats with keyword rules, schedules and templates. It needs no account and keeps its data on the phone.

For clients we have delivered, among others, ClinicOS (a management system for clinics, patients and appointments), company profile and e-commerce websites, server hardening scripts, an AI chatbot manager and Python automation for repetitive data work. The full list is on our projects page.

Sharing what we learn

Since 2023 we have published practical articles on our blog: Linux and shell scripting, Python and Go, cyber security, and web and mobile development. They are written in Indonesian or English and come from the same problems we solve for clients: flaky cron jobs, SSH hardening, incident response, choosing between Python and Go for automation.

How we work

  • Security by default. This website is served over HTTPS with HSTS and a strict Content Security Policy, and we apply the same habits to client systems. Our security policy explains how to report a vulnerability to us.
  • Privacy by design. Our fonts are self-hosted, our analytics are cookieless, and our own apps process data on the device. Our privacy policy lists every service that sees your data.
  • Written agreements. Every project starts with a written quotation or contract, and our payment and refund policy is public.
  • Two working languages. We work with clients in Indonesian and English.
