About

I build products that help people work better. As a co-founder of Glints, I've spent 10 years scaling a talent platform across Southeast Asia - from writing the first line of code to leading product for a 60 person engineering and product organization. Along the way: 10M+ users, 300k DAU, US$82m raised (Series D), and market leadership in Indonesia. I've worn many hats. Currently I lead Product and Engineering at Glints, Regional Talent Solutions. We are building the HR Operating System for Glints, shipping AI-native features (LLM integrations, automated sourcing), and building platforms that solve real HR pain points. Angel investor in early-stage startups. Backed Lumina (YC W22), Mito Health (YC S24), GetASAP (YC S25) and Munify (YC S25).
