These are the places where I publish, teach, and stay reachable. Each channel serves a different purpose, from hands on developer content to peer reviewed research and community conversation. Pick the one that matches what you are looking for, and feel free to reach out on any of them.
YouTube Channel
A video channel for software developers who want practical guidance on Visual Studio, Azure, C#, .NET, and the wider Microsoft development stack. Expect release walkthroughs, tooling demos, and short explainers you can apply to your own projects the same day. Best suited for developers, students, and technical teams who prefer to see a feature working before reading the documentation. Subscribe to this channel on Youtube
My primary professional network for collaboration, consulting inquiries, speaking invitations, and industry conversation. I post shorter notes here on software engineering practice, AI adoption inside organizations, and lessons from building technical teams. Connect if you would like to discuss an opportunity, a partnership, or an idea worth exploring further. Ridi Ferdiana | LinkedIn
ResearchGate
My research profile, where journal articles, conference papers, and preprints on software engineering, AI engineering, and cloud computing are gathered in one place. Use it to read or request full texts, follow ongoing projects, and trace the citations behind each work. This is the right channel for fellow researchers, graduate students, and anyone considering a research collaboration or joint publication. ResearchGate Profile
Academic Journey
A blog about the craft of being an academic, covering research planning, writing and publication strategy, grant preparation, student supervision, and the daily realities of academic work. The posts are written from experience rather than theory, so they lean toward what actually works and what does not. Useful for lecturers, graduate students, and early career researchers building their own academic track record. Academic Backlog
Visual Studio ID Community
The home of the Visual Studio ID community, where developer tooling content meets stories from community building and startup life. You will find Visual Studio tips, .NET ecosystem updates, event recaps, and honest reflections on turning technical skill into a sustainable venture. A good fit for Indonesian developers who want technical depth alongside a community to grow with. VSID
