Rentmed · Medical equipment rental

Sep 2021 – Dec 20211 min read

A web app for a medical equipment rental company, built on Django with jQuery-powered interactions.

Role — Web developer.

Impact

  • First production catalog and rental pages delivered in three months.
  • Team Django onboarding led through walkthroughs, removing solo bottlenecks.
  • Live site in active use at rentmed.id.

Context

Rentmed rents medical and diagnostic equipment across Indonesia. The catalog runs from ventilators and patient monitors to AEDs, imaging, and more. The business needed one place online where people browse inventory, read how rental works, and contact the team.

I joined as an intern while the product was still taking shape. The goal was a maintainable Django codebase, first real pages in production, and enough shared understanding for peers to ship small changes without lining up behind one owner.

Approach

I worked server-side and in templates with Django, reached for jQuery only where the UI needed light interactivity without a heavier client stack, and sketched flows in Figma before implementation so pages matched stakeholder sign-off. I shipped features end to end (routing, templates, basic behavior) and ran short, focused Django walkthroughs so peers read the project layout, ran the app locally, and landed small changes safely.

Outcomes

  • A working base ready to grow with deeper catalogs and richer rental flows.
  • Faster Django ramp-up for the team through shared sessions and a clearer folder and app structure.
  • Less friction between Figma intent and the pages users saw in the browser.
