Putra Mahardika: Marketing Manager · Web Developer · Founder of Codisite

I started as a graphic designer at Bali Plus Magazine, got pulled into web development by an unexpected request from my boss, and kept following my curiosity from there. Along the way: IT management, a music streaming experiment called Creamove that grew into a music media platform, a digital services business, and a move into SEO, digital advertising and marketing.

1. 2014: Graphic Designer, Bali Plus Magazine. Graduated in graphic design and started my professional career as a graphic designer at Bali Plus Magazine, with a particular love for layout and visual composition.
2. 2015: Learning Web Development, Bali Plus Magazine. Same company: when the web team at Bali Plus Magazine resigned, my boss, who knew I was very interested in websites, asked me to learn web development.
3. 2016: Web Developer, Bali Plus Magazine. Still at Bali Plus Magazine, I became a Web Developer in the web development team. My graphic design background helped me create visually compelling websites.
4. 2017–2020: Web Developer → IT Manager, Serene Villas Management. Joined Serene Villas Management as a web developer. About six months later I was appointed IT Manager because I also understood broader IT responsibilities, and held the role for roughly three years.
5. 2017 onward: Creator, Creamove. A personal experiment to build something more complex than company-profile and villa websites, combining my passion for music with web development: a music streaming platform for Balinese musicians, built as a web app wrapped for mobile. It later evolved into a music media platform.
6. 2018: Music & creative projects. Creamove grew into supporting music projects: its first compilation album was released with sponsorship from InsightID (the series has since reached volume six), and the relationships built through Creamove got me involved in the Made In Bali Festival event-organizing project.
7. 2020: Web Developer (with SEO & digital advertising), Chapung Sebali Resort. During COVID-19 I had to leave my IT Manager role at Serene Villas Management, and joined Chapung Sebali Resort in Ubud, which was still operating sustainably. My responsibilities expanded beyond code into SEO and digital advertising, learning how websites help a business attract visitors and customers.
8. 2020: Committee member, Anugerah Musik Bali. Invited to help curate musicians and nominees. It was an opportunity connected to the relationships built through Creamove.
9. 2020–Present: Founder, Codisite. Founded Codisite, a service business offering website development, digital marketing, digital advertising and graphic design. It runs alongside my employment, not in place of it, and continues to operate.
10. 2023–2026: Senior Website Developer, FINNS Beach Club. Senior Website Developer, while further developing my knowledge of SEO and digital marketing and connecting design, development, user experience and business goals, with Codisite running alongside.
11. 2026–Present: Marketing Manager, Body Lab Bali. Moved from website development into marketing management, bringing together what I've learned across design, development, technology, SEO, digital advertising and digital marketing. Codisite continues alongside as my independent business.
