Alok Maurya — CTO

As a Senior Manager at Institutional Securities Technology Morgan Stanley, I lead the development of critical security components for tokenization and detokenization of payment card numbers using Hardware Security Modules (HSMs). This is part of the large-scale VHTS project that aims to enhance the performance, scalability, and security of the payment processing platform for the global financial services firm. Before joining Morgan Stanley in Mar 2023, I was a Senior Backend Engineer at BukuWarung, SEA's fastest-growing startup that builds the digital infrastructure for 60 million MSMEs in Indonesia. I was one of the early developers in the platform team, and I helped the company to build reliable, scalable, and secure notification and authentication backend systems using Java, SpringBoot, Kafka, Redis, and MongoDB. I also contributed to the design and implementation of RESTful web services and microservices architecture for the online storefront and payment features. I have over 8 years of experience in product design and development in the payments, banking, finance, and HCM domains. I have a strong background in Java, with applications of data structures, algorithms, OOPS concepts, design patterns, system design, and solid principles. I also have a good understanding of multithreading, synchronization, collections, and databases such as SQL, MySQL, Postgres, Aurora, and MongoDB. I have a Bachelor of Technology (B.Tech.) degree in Information Technology from Bundelkhand Institute of Engineering and Technology, Jhansi, where I graduated in 2014. I am passionate about solving complex and challenging problems using cutting-edge technologies and best practices. I value collaboration, communication, and continuous learning as key factors for success in any project. I am always eager to explore new opportunities and domains, and to expand my skills and knowledge. My goal is to create innovative and impactful solutions that can benefit users and businesses alike.
