Talks & Presentations

I turn ideas into reliable software.

A software developer with over two years of experience specializing in building scalable and secure enterprise systems using Java, Kotlin, and Salesforce.

The journey began as a university student in 2019, joining as a teaching assistant and instructor in the fourth semester at Universitas Teknokrat Indonesia, and graduated in 2023 with a GPA of 3.70/4.00 (view transcript). This was followed by an apprenticeship at CODE ID as a backend developer, contributing to an insurance platform built with Spring Boot and Quarkus — an experience that strengthened technical foundations in code structure, algorithmic thinking, and full-stack collaboration.

Currently serving as a Software Developer at AXA Mandiri Financial Services, with several high-impact backend initiatives delivered in support of digital transformation. Led a microservices-based migration of customer reporting from RPA to REST services, using Apache Kafka and asynchronous Salesforce integrations, reducing annual licensing costs by 99.5% (from IDR 2 billion to IDR 10 million) while improving processing efficiency by 70%. Additional contributions include building automation systems for internal policy and tax document processes that delivered measurable annual cost savings, enhancing Salesforce reporting and call-handling workflows to significantly reduce agent workload, remediating Log4j vulnerabilities alongside the security team, and modernizing legacy SOAP-based systems into RESTful APIs.

Core technical expertise spans backend service development using Spring Boot and Quarkus across several microservices projects, Kotlin for Android-based mobile development, and proficiency in databases including MySQL, PostgreSQL, MSSQL, and MongoDB. Experience extends to secure API development, JWT authentication, API Gateway/Service Discovery, Docker-based cloud deployment, Apache Kafka streaming, and Salesforce CRM development using Apex, Visualforce, and Lightning Web Components, complemented by open-source contributions on GitHub and knowledge shared through published articles on Medium. Beyond work, also active as a mentor for the Islamic student association (Rohis) SMAN 43 Jakarta.
