$ About

// Enterprise discipline. AI-native delivery.

Full-stack & mobile engineer (10+ years) with a dual background: enterprise backend experience in banking (Java, .NET C#) combined with modern AI-native product development across Web, Android, and iOS.

I design and deliver software where AI models and autonomous agents (Claude Code, Cursor, Kilo, Opencode) are built directly into the architectural fabric — backed by deterministic guardrails, clean domain layers, and strict contract typing.

I combine enterprise-grade backend discipline with AI-accelerated workflows to ship production software at 3x velocity without compromising architectural rigor.

$ Success Stories

// Proof, not just job descriptions

Every story follows the same structure — the problem, what I did, and the outcome. This is how I actually work.

One monorepo, four platforms, ~3x shipping velocity

The problem

Building backend, iOS, Android and web apps meant manually translating the exact same logic into three different languages. Repetitive boilerplate was the bottleneck — and AI agents without strict boundaries hallucinated diverging data models and layouts across platforms.

What I did

  • Centralized sources of truth: one OpenAPI spec for every API, and platform-neutral design tokens for the UI.
  • Declared iOS the design benchmark, then made Android and web mirror it 1:1 instead of guessing.
  • Built a custom pipeline that auto-generates native Swift, Kotlin and React code from those contracts.
  • Enforced an agent workflow: schema → types → iOS → Android → web.

Outcome

Zero visual drift, compile-time safety across platform boundaries, and time spent building features instead of writing boilerplate network code.

MonorepoOpenAPICodegeniOS · Android · Web

Custom MCP servers that keep multi-language code honest

The problem

Coordinating an AI-assisted monorepo across Kotlin, Swift and TypeScript: contract drift between platforms is invisible until runtime.

What I did

  • Architected custom Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers to give AI agents live project context.
  • Automated multi-language client codegen (Kotlin / Swift / TS) from a single contract source.
  • Enforced monorepo contract integrity across platforms at generation time.

Outcome

AI agents produce contract-correct clients by default — cross-platform drift is eliminated before code review.

MCPAI AgentsContract-firstMonorepo

Scale-invariant facial search engine

The problem

Matching faces across photos at different scales and distances — naive similarity fails as the face size in the frame changes.

What I did

  • Designed a facial search engine on Google Cloud Vision with a hand-built geometric scoring algorithm.
  • Scored inter-eye landmarks with exponential-decay weighting to stay invariant to face scale.

Outcome

A working search engine that matches faces reliably regardless of how far the subject was from the camera.

Marketplace payments with Airwallex

The problem

A cross-platform marketplace needed real-money flows: secure payout signing, regulated onboarding, and no double-charging on retries.

What I did

  • Integrated Airwallex marketplace payments across the stack.
  • Implemented HMAC-SHA256 signature verification for webhook authenticity.
  • Built KYC onboarding and idempotent event handling so retries never double-process.

Outcome

Payment processing that is authenticable, compliant, and safe under network retries — end to end.

PaymentsAirwallexWebhooksSecurity

Mission-critical banking backends

The problem

National-scale banking apps (OCBC NISP, BNI, BRI) demand security, high availability, and strict compliance — mistakes are not an option.

What I did

  • Shipped and maintained .NET C# / Java / SQL backends for FX transactions and mobile banking.
  • Built a secure JS↔native bridge with encrypted SSL communication for a hybrid banking app.
  • Researched biometric authentication (fingerprint & face) with bank security teams.

Outcome

Years of running mission-critical financial infrastructure trusted by millions of users across Indonesian banks.

Resilience: from layoff to rebuilding like a beginner

The problem

After a layoff, interviews exposed gaps in DSA and system design fundamentals — the very things senior interviews test under pressure.

What I did

  • Reset with a structured daily training schedule across DSA patterns and system design.
  • Retrained fundamentals intentionally instead of relying on past experience.
  • Upskilled into the shifting market: cross-platform and AI-assisted workflows.

Outcome

A sharper, more disciplined and more resilient engineer — experience renewed into a flame instead of resting on old titles.
