What I Build

Problem domains I've shipped systems for

Cross-chain coordination

Distributed state across networks with idempotent transfers.

Distributed state across multiple networks with different consistency guarantees, using messaging bridges and idempotent transfer flows.

WormholeCCTPEVMAptos

Real-time trading systems

Atomic orders and sub-second pipelines.

Atomic order flow, live leaderboards, and sub-second pipelines built on WebSocket connections and Redis-backed ranking.

WebSocketBullMQRedisPostgreSQL

Regulated identity flows

KYC and onboarding with FAPI-grade security.

High-assurance KYC and onboarding following financial-grade API security profiles for government identity systems.

SingpassFAPI 2.0PARDPoP

Event-driven pipelines

Idempotent queues with failover and real-time sync.

Distributed queues with idempotent processing, multi-provider failover, and near real-time data sync.

Featured Projects

Backend systems I've built

View all

Microjob marketplace platform, freelancer-style, focused on small tasks. Built in Go with Gin and JSON-RPC architecture for strongly-typed service contracts, backed by PostgreSQL for transactional consistency and Redis for caching and queue coordination. Integrated Singapore's Singpass national identity following the FAPI 2.0 security profile (PAR and DPoP) for high-assurance KYC and onboarding flows.

GoGinPostgreSQLRedisJSON-RPCSingpassFAPI 2.0

Music fintech platform with distributed state coordination across 5 networks with different consistency guarantees. Led cross-network transfer architecture using Wormhole messaging and CCTP, reduced RPC latency by ~70% through parallel execution and connection pooling. Designed distributed queue system with idempotent processing.

Node.jsNestJSPostgreSQLRedisWormholeCCTP

Real-time trading platform with atomic transactions and zero-downtime deployments. Identified direct RPC calls as a cost bottleneck for blockchain indexing, replaced with Aptos Processor, reducing costs by 100x+. Tackled leaderboard latency by building real-time ranking system with BullMQ, PostgreSQL, and Redis caching.

Work Experience

My journey in backend engineering

Sole backend engineer owning all server-side infrastructure across Opulous, Booster.fun, NFT Springboard, and Silverhands.

Distributed state across 5 networks with cross-network transfers

Reduced response time ~70% via parallel execution + pooling

Distributed queue with idempotent processing + integration tests

Real-time leaderboard via BullMQ + PostgreSQL + Redis

Sole on-call; first responder for production incidents

Owned backend architecture for campaign management platform serving 10,000+ monthly active users.

Homepage API: 2s → 300ms via MySQL indexing + Redis cache

Scaled homepage throughput from <100 to ~1k RPS

GCP infra (Cloud Run, Cloud SQL) with CI/CD pipelines

99.95% uptime across production services

Built diverse production systems across multiple industries in Jakarta, Bandung, and Malaysia.

Employee dashboards (Node.js, React, MSSQL)

Live sports score apps (.NET, Redis, WebSocket)

Vending machine payments (Java, Spring Boot, Kafka)

Full-stack solutions across client engagements

Key Achievements

Led technical design of distributed state coordination across 5 networks with different consistency guarantees, using Wormhole messaging and CCTP for cross-network transfers

Diagnosed sequential RPC calls as primary latency bottleneck, refactored to parallel execution with Promise.allSettled and connection pooling, reducing response time by ~70%

Identified reliability risks in async processing flows, designed distributed queue system using event-driven architecture with idempotent processing and integration test coverage

Tackled leaderboard latency by building real-time ranking system with BullMQ, PostgreSQL, and Redis caching

Sole on-call for backend across all products; first responder for production incidents, triaging from logs to root cause
