Software Engineer, builder and tinkerer.

I'm a software engineer who enjoys building things and figuring out how they work.

I work mostly on mobile software, building products, developer tools, libraries, and the occasional side project. I care about writing software that is fast, reliable, and useful, but I also enjoy building things simply because they seem interesting.

Currently, I work on GoPay at Gojek, working across Android and iOS on software that operates at a large scale. Outside of work, I build and share things in the open, contribute to open source, and write about things I find interesting.
