I've built Indonesia's banking, payment networks, and digital financial services.
What I'm looking for

My work combines business strategy, regulatory alignment, human-centered design, and information technology.
I helped launch Indonesia's first real-time shared ATM network and online interbank money transfer through ALTO, while building payment switching, 24/7 operations, data warehousing, and secure high-availability infrastructure. Across banking, fintech, microfinance, and consulting, I've developed financial inclusion, credit scoring, cloud banking, biometric payment, and digital banking solutions.
