What I'm looking for

I’m looking to build cloud-native, high-throughput systems end-to-end—owning design, backend/frontend delivery, and post-release improvements. I value strong engineering practices (TDD, CI/CD, monitoring) and teams that care about reliability and performance.

I’m a Senior Software Engineer with a strong foundation in backend, frontend, and systems design. I focus on delivering scalable, reliable services and improving performance through careful engineering and ownership from design to deployment and post-release iteration.

At GDP Labs (Aug 2023–Nov 2025), I led end-to-end development for MyLifeGuard.id, a digital insurance sales platform for BCA Life. I built Java Spring Boot microservices and a Next.js frontend, including policy buy flows, third-party payment integrations, BCA Life Core System integration, and recurring payment systems with robust scheduling and error handling.

I’ve also improved real production outcomes—enhancing stability, refactoring for readability and performance, improving query performance by 200%, and reducing production incidents. I implemented PII data encryption at the database level, and practiced best practices like TDD, CI/CD with Docker, monitoring, and performance optimization while serving as an on-call engineer.

Before that, I worked across both backend and frontend roles, including PayLater feature development at DANA Indonesia and backend microservices work at Tokopedia using Golang, gRPC, Redis, and SQL. Today, at Archipelago International (Sentinel Tech), I’m building multi-tenant EMS/HRIS SaaS for thousands of hotel properties, including QR attendance, HR modules, and tenant-isolated architecture.
