About Me
The Humble Beginning
My tech journey began in 2016 when I had the privilege of co-founding the award-winning team at BAMBU (ceased operations in 2023), a startup on a mission to revolutionize wealth management for financial institutions around the world.
Weathering The Storm
After nearly six rewarding years in the startup world, I joined Gojek to help shape the digital economy in one of the world’s largest markets. Unfortunately, my time there ended—alongside 1,299 others—due to macroeconomic headwinds. During this transitional period, I’ve stayed busy learning new technologies, building side projects, and catching every Celtics game I can. Go C’s!
Returning To The Roots
In a full-circle moment, I reunited with my former BAMBU colleagues and leaders. This time, I returned as Lead Engineer for BAMBU GO—our flagship SaaS robo-advisor platform. Although it didn’t get the fairytale ending it deserved, the experience was invaluable.
The Story Continues
Today, I serve as a Senior Software Engineer at YouTrip, working as part of the YouBiz team. I’m currently leading the development of an enterprise-grade, multi-currency expense management platform for businesses.
