Building great products,
one component at a time.
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.
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 that transformative period I stayed busy learning new technologies, building side projects, and enjoying every Celtics game I could get.
In a full-circle moment, I reunited with my former BAMBU colleagues and leaders. This time, I stepped up as Lead Engineer for BAMBU GO—our flagship SaaS robo-advisor platform. Although it didn't go the way I envisioned, the experience was invaluable.
Today, I'm 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.
- Migrated YouBiz's legacy web codebase to TypeScript, improving developer experience (DX) and code maintainability, which enabled smoother scaling of the platform.
- Implemented a standardized testing strategy (BDD) and automated pull-request workflows, increasing code reliability and reducing review overhead across YouTrip and YouBiz.
- Reduced customer-facing web application bundle size by 27%, significantly improving loading speed and performance.
- Optimized web application CI/CD process, reducing build and deployment times by 75% and enabling 4Ă— faster delivery.
- Led the adoption of component-driven development using Storybook and Chromatic, enabling creation of BAMBU's in-house design system and delivering an accessible next-gen frontend experience.
- Established engineering best practices—including trunk-based development with feature flags, CODEOWNERS for automated PR assignment, and ADRs—to enhance agility, code quality, and long-term maintainability across a monorepo with 20+ packages.
- Collaborated with designers, product owners, and C-suite stakeholders to define requirements and deliver a unified, consistent user experience across applications.
- Delivered a Single-SPA–based micro-frontend application as part of a 3-person frontend team, consistently completing sprint commitments (100% burndown), which improved delivery predictability and stakeholder confidence.
- Elevated application quality by driving the adoption of BDD with Playwright and increasing test coverage to 90%—the highest among Moka Backoffice micro-frontend applications—resulting in more reliable releases.
- Collaborated within the Commerce Enablement FE Guild to enhance frontend workflows across product teams, introducing React Testing Library best practices that improved test confidence and reduced false positives.
- Led a 3-person frontend team to develop BAMBU GO 2.0—the world's first robo-advisory SaaS platform using ReactJS and Redux—winning "Best of Show" at 2021 FinovateFall in New York.
- Boosted test reliability by introducing integration (@testing-library/react, MSW) and E2E (Cypress) testing, achieving 70%+ coverage while eliminating 50% of redundant tests.
- Accelerated product delivery by spearheading frontend development for multiple live projects, POCs, and MVPs, driving business deals and securing Series A/B funding.
- Streamlined deployment by replacing manual releases with automated CI/CD, cutting errors and accelerating release cycles.
