What I'm looking for

I am seeking a senior technical role where I can lead cross-functional teams, own end-to-end architecture, and build scalable, compliant platforms while mentoring engineers and driving product-aligned engineering practices.

I am a product-minded software engineer and technical leader with extensive experience designing, building, and scaling digital platforms across fintech, social media, and edutech in Indonesia and the region.

I have led cross-functional, multi-country teams across backend, frontend, mobile, and DevOps, working directly with founders and C-level stakeholders to translate business, operational, and regulatory requirements into production-ready systems.

My technical work spans cloud-native architecture, API-driven systems, automation, and AI/LLM feature integration, using stacks such as Python (FastAPI, Django), Go, Java (Spring Boot), Node.js/NestJS, React, React Native, and Terraform on AWS and Google Cloud.

I prioritize clear communication, pragmatic decision-making, maintainability, and performance; I mentor engineers, drive engineering best practices, and take ownership from early technical discussions through long-term system improvement.
