Bryan Susanto
Software Engineer | Designer
Hey! I'm a bachelor's graduate from the University of Melbourne who studied computer science, UI/UX design, and mathematics. Since high school, I've enjoyed front-end web development and, more generally, the technical and human side of computing. To me, there's just a thing about being able to create something that anyone with internet and a web browser can access anywhere. I also find joy in seeing the delight in people's faces when they use good software and when we can help solve their problems and achieve what they need to. Over the course of my studies, I've come to believe that good software is not just clean code and good architecture, but also good design thinking, hence I studied both and continue to strive to pull from both disciplines in my craft. Other than web development, I'm interested in tutoring/teaching and computer graphics, and I play video games in my free time, primarily Minecraft!

Creating a Black Friday Banner in Shopify
Today I would like to share with you the process I went through to design and implement the Black Friday banner for Sticky Vinyl in 2025, a well-known Australian store that sells vinyl for arts and crafts as well as tools for it. This is part of our monthly maintenance for their Shopify e-commerce website as part of Sanico’s Shopify services. The purpose of this banner was to let customers know that there is a sale going on and how much longer the sale was going to last for. This encourages the customers to purchase products while the sale lasts.

Creating Services Pages for Luciano Concrete's website
Today I would like to take you on the journey of how I designed and implemented service pages for Luciano Concrete, a local Adelaide concreter in South Australia. These pages were handmade with HTML, Tailwind CSS, and JavaScript, as we do for all our client websites. They are part of the whole Luciano Concrete website assigned to me by Sav, one of our co-founders and lead devs of Sanico Software, who also mentored me throughout the whole process.

Design is not like math nor computer science
Back in year 10, I wanted to create a website for someone as I found web development to be enjoyable with its low barrier to entry, instant results in the browser, and the fact that it’s shareable through just a link in the browser. So I gathered a list of things I would need to learn to do so, which can be divided into two categories: Technical skills: Frontend (HTML, CSS, and JS) and backend (at the time, PHP and MySQL) Design skills: Graphic design and User Interface (UI) design. So with that, I started looking for resources online to study it, which mainly came in the form of multiple-hour long YouTube tutorials, a long YouTube tutorial playlist, or a Udemy course I got. Thank you, by the way, to all those who released YouTube courses for free and continue doing so, especially freeCodeCamp and the Net Ninja; you all have been a crucial part of starting my journey into web development and programming in general.
