About Me

I'm a Senior Backend Engineer currently at Grab, Southeast Asia's leading super-app, where I design and scale high-volume transaction systems for GrabKios across Indonesia. With 12+ years in the industry, I've shipped production systems in fintech, core banking, and enterprise platforms — always with a focus on reliability, performance, and clean 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.
