What I'm looking for
I am a Senior Mobile Engineer with over 11 years of experience in software development, specializing in Android development with Kotlin, mobile architecture, and performance optimization. I have built and maintained mobile applications across mobility, logistics, fintech, and point-of-sale industries. My technical strengths include Kotlin, Jetpack Compose, Coroutines and Flow, MVVM, Clean Architecture, modularization, CI/CD, and building reliable, scalable Android applications.
Throughout my career, I have held the following roles and delivered key achievements:
Moka (Acquaried by GoTo (Gojek) — Engineering Manager: Led a cross-functional engineering team and helped improve the application's crash-free user rate from 82% to 99.8%.
SWAT Mobility — Android Engineer: Helped resolve critical engineering challenges that threatened customer retention and release deadlines. Developed passenger and logistics workflows, implemented turn-by-turn navigation and custom routing, and contributed to migrating the navigation stack from Mapbox to Ferrostar.
MokaPOS — Lead Android Developer: Helped overcome critical engineering challenges threatening customer retention and release deadlines. Contributed to point-of-sale, payment, and KYC/KYB solutions.
Moladin — Senior Android Developer: Contributed to mobile application development and product delivery.
I am passionate about mobile architecture, solving complex engineering problems, and AI-assisted software development. My strongest differentiator is combining deep technical expertise with end-to-end ownership and the ability to turn around struggling mobile projects. I am particularly interested in joining global startups as a Senior Mobile Engineer or Founding Mobile Engineer, where I can own mobile development from architecture to production, establish the right technical foundations, and grow alongside the business. Based in Indonesia, I am seeking fully remote opportunities with international teams, particularly in US and European startups, and am willing to overlap with their time zones.
