Project history

Security Engineer

eFishery
Spearheaded end-to-end offensive security assessments across all internal microservices, surfacing critical vulnerabilities and driving full remediation within 3 months. Audited source code across backend and frontend services using Checkmarx. Deployed SonarQube as an automated SAST gate across all CI/CD containers. Championed enterprise-wide cybersecurity policy design with cross-functional stakeholders.

Backend Engineer

eFishery
Architected and maintained Go/PostgreSQL microservices powering a fintech lending platform. Raised service SLA by 37% by re-engineering the PostgreSQL layer with sharding, clustering, and materialized views. Enforced service quality standards by writing exhaustive unit tests using the Testify framework. Orchestrated containerized deployments via Docker and Kubernetes.

Platform Engineer

eFishery
Rolled out Kibana-based centralized logging across virtually all backend and frontend services, dramatically improving system observability and incident mean-time-to-detect. Built Polar, an open-source Git pre-commit message validator in Go, standardizing commit discipline across the entire engineering organization.

Backend Developer

Majoo Teknologi Indonesia
Modernized the core POS platform by migrating the legacy PHP codebase to Go. Cut data retrieval latency by introducing CQRS. Owned end-to-end design and delivery of core product management features for a POS system serving tens of thousands of merchants. Engineered a multi-platform marketplace integration and established a company-wide unit testing standard.

Backend Developer

Digital Sekuriti Indonesia
Built internal blockchain services in C underpinning a micro-banking platform, enabling cryptographically secure peer-to-peer financial transactions. Engineered genesis block generation using the scrypt key-derivation algorithm in C. Packaged the XXTEA symmetric cipher as a CPython C extension.

Machine Learning Engineer

Cinemo
Benchmarked and selected the highest-performing training algorithms for road pattern detection. Designed a Python 3 pre-training pipeline for road image datasets. Authored a CUDA/C++ extension that parallelized GPU-accelerated training, cutting model training time by an order of magnitude.

Tools Development & Build Automation Engineer

Juniper Networks
Engineered firmware for network SoC hardware, resolving performance bottlenecks and improving device throughput under production workloads. Built a C-based CLI tool that streamlined routine operations on proprietary OS environments. Maintained comprehensive documentation for automated build systems.
