About

I am a product engineering leader with over 20 years of experience in developing and managing complex and distributed web applications, telecommunication, and embedded systems. I have a strong background in product engineering, agile methodology, machine learning, and engineering/operational excellence. Most recently, I was the Senior Director of Software Engineering at Quinbay(a BliBli.com company), where I was responsible for the B2C/B2B/B2G fulfillment experience of Indonesia's leading e-commerce platform, Blibli.com. I led the development and maintenance of various software services and platforms, including transportation management system, shipping plan, logistics orchestration, warehouse management system, inventory planning, and fulfillment as a service. I have over four years of experience as an entrepreneur and co-founder of Chipmonk Technologies, where I developed an innovative IoT product for industrial process monitoring, analysis, and optimization. I am passionate about building high-performance teams, defining systems and processes, and creating value for customers and partners. I have a proven track record of hiring, coaching, mentoring, and retaining talented engineers and managers in niche domains. I am also skilled at setting up and running start-up operations, financial planning and control, customer engagement, quality monitoring and improvement, and stakeholder management. My goal is to leverage my expertise and experience to lead and deliver impactful and scalable solutions for challenging and dynamic business problems.
