About Me

Senior Backend Engineer with 12+ years across fintech, core banking, and super-app platforms — currently at Grab, scaling GrabKios backend systems that power customer acquisition, engagement, and product enablement flows across Indonesia. Specialized in Golang, distributed systems, and microservices architecture.

My career spans LinkAja (digital payments), Lembaga Penjamin Simpanan (Indonesia's deposit guarantee body), and PT Xsis Mitra Utama, where I also mentored and trained 100+ engineers as a Technical Competency Counselor. I hold three industry certifications — AWS Solutions Architect, MCSA Web Applications, and MCSD App Builder — reflecting both cloud-native and enterprise-grade expertise.

Beyond engineering, I'm the founder of Weba — an AI-powered website builder that lets anyone create a professional website through natural language. I lead the full product and technical stack: from AI agent prompt engineering (Loki, Thor, Hera) and generation pipeline architecture, to billing, infrastructure, and cost optimization.
