About

I’m an engineering leader and founder with over 12 years of experience designing and scaling distributed systems, developer platforms, and Web3 infrastructure. As Founder of Unmarshal, I built and led a team that developed a blockchain data infrastructure indexing 45+ chains with 99.9% uptime, serving millions of API requests per day across DeFi, NFT, and AI ecosystems. I’ve been deeply involved in system architecture, scalability, observability, and developer experience — creating the kind of reliability that lets others build with confidence. Before Unmarshal, I spent several years at Grab and Gojek, where I engineered high-throughput backend systems handling 10M+ daily transactions. Those experiences shaped my approach to building for both scale and stability — the same principles that now guide my leadership style. I thrive in environments where technology, leadership, and product intersect — guiding engineering orgs toward excellence while nurturing teams that own outcomes. My focus areas include: Distributed Systems & Infrastructure Scalability Platform Reliability, CI/CD, and SLO-driven Engineering Developer Experience & API Design Mentorship and Organizational Growth Having led as a founder, I understand both the technology and the tempo — how to ship fast without breaking reliability, and how to align engineering culture with business outcomes.
