About

I care about systems people can rely on, and teams that get better over time.

Bio

I'm a product engineer focused on backend systems, based in Malang, Indonesia. Over 13 years (including 6 years remote) I've shipped and led work across social commerce, education, fintech, AI integration, and information systems.

I like owning the loop when it makes sense: clarify the problem, design the system, ship, measure, and maintain. I've done that as an IC, a tech lead, and as VP of Engineering.

Right now I'm open to backend and product engineering roles, especially remote-friendly ones where reliability and clear product thinking matter.

Elsewhere in life

I share a home with a lot of cats. I played guitar (and sometimes drums) in school and college bands, still drawn to rock and jazz. On quieter days I ride: endurance and climbs.
