About

Tokopedia's GraphQL API gateway -- composition layer over 10+ upstream services, single entry point for all frontend traffic. JULO's PII externalization stack -- tokenization, envelope encryption, the full compliance layer. Early Paytm -- helped take it from a recharge app to a marketplace when the team was 50 engineers. All high-growth, all figuring out scale in real time. I build foundational things and move on -- the systems outlast my tenure. Shipping products, maintaining 20+ open-source libraries -- config parsing, rate limiting, circuit breakers, caching. Go and Node. Reading upstream code, finding security issues, sending fixes. Available for the right problem.

Building products and maintaining 20+ open-source libraries. Five products shipped and live - internet radio, HN curation, communication coaching, developer tools. All running on Cloudflare Pages, GitHub Actions, and a single VPS. No cloud bill.
Libraries cover the backend primitives I keep reaching for - config parsing, rate limiting, circuit breakers, caching, message queues. Go and Node.

Architecture for a digital lending platform serving millions of users.

Architecture across User & Accounts, Buyer Growth, Risk, and Shared Services.
Built the GraphQL API gateway -- a composition layer over 10+ upstream services that became the single entry point for all frontend traffic. During sale events, that gateway was the control plane: circuit breaking, graceful degradation, cached and partial responses to keep things standing when traffic spiked.
Led a small architecture team. Mostly cross-team coordination -- getting 4-5 teams aligned on shared features.
