pengembang

Pengembang is an Indonesian noun meaning a person or organization that develops something. It is widely used across industries to refer to individuals who design and bring new products, systems, or structures into existence, including software developers and property developers. The term can also refer to entities that expand or enhance existing capabilities or infrastructures.

Etymology: The word derives from the Indonesian verb mengembangkan ("to develop" or "to expand"). The agent noun peng- is attached to the root to indicate the doer of the action, yielding pengembang, the one who develops.

In technology, pengembang perangkat lunak describes software developers who analyze requirements, design solutions, write code, test, and maintain applications or systems. In business and urban development, pengembang properti refers to real estate developers who plan, finance, construct, and market housing or commercial projects, often coordinating with local authorities and contractors.

Other uses include developers of new products or services, and, less commonly, institutions that propose and implement development programs in government or non-profit sectors. The term is generic, and the specific meaning depends on context and the accompanying modifier (such as perangkat lunak or properti).
