About Me
Scaling Systems,
Exploring Trails
I'm a Solution Architect with over 11 years of experience in software development, including 9+ years focused on payment technology architecture at DOKU: Indonesia's pioneering payment gateway.
I design core financial systems, reconciliation platforms, transfer services, remittance flows, and API architectures that process millions of transactions. My expertise lies in event-driven architecture, microservices, and nanoservices patterns.
Recently, I've been shifting my focus towards AI-assisted development practices, Vibe Coding, and workflow automation using n8n and LLM integration to accelerate engineering productivity.
Outside of work, I enjoy camping with my family, exploring specialty coffee, and occasional hiking trips. just as the tagline says: scaling systems, exploring trails.
Education
Why this site
I've been doing this long enough to notice the same trade-offs reappear in different disguises. Writing them down helps me think, and hopefully helps someone else avoid a dead-end I've already walked into.
The topics I keep coming back to:
- Architecture & design patterns: how to scope solutions that survive contact with real teams and real deadlines.
- AI for software engineering: what actually works, what's overhyped, and what's changing faster than anyone can keep up with.
- Engineering leadership: the soft parts of the job that don't fit in an architecture diagram but determine whether the diagram gets built.
