A short story of me

Having spent the last several years building and scaling a product‑driven SaaS and marketing service company from the ground up, I am now eager to embark on a new journey where I can focus on solving complex technical problems directly alongside clients

Having seen the transformation first-hand, I am motivated to be part of the team that brings life to iconic products used by billions daily through elite engineering and experience design.

I chose a path deemed unconventional by most others, despite having all the ingredients for a direct route to a stable corporate life. I achieved a perfect score in Hong Kong's HKDSE, studied Global Business Studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, and secured a return offer as a technology analyst at Morgan Stanley upon graduation.

However, instead of joining the bank, I founded a business with my co-founders. For three years, we built a SaaS product alongside offering marketing services. We achieved over $1 million in revenue while serving more than 200 clients across multiple countries.

The company is now profitable every month, and I could have enjoyed the freedom it brings. However, I have decided to look for new challenges and offloaded all my responsibility to my co-founder. This is driven by clarity about what genuinely excites me.

I managed a technical team of four based in Indonesia and led the architecture and implementation of our core application with Typescript (Next.JS) with relational database using Postgres. I have been on‑site with clients on more than ten occasions to deploy the system and perform on‑the‑spot fixes in production environments.

I look forward to discussing how my technical expertise and entrepreneurial perspective can contribute to your team.
