Now

I am a product leader operating in Indonesian fintech. My last public chapter: Head of Product at AwanTunai, scaling MSME lending to IDR 1.6T in monthly disbursement with a product organisation of nine.

What makes me different is that I build. I trade IDX with Vantage, a screener I built from scratch, and I run my own work on an AI operating system I designed and shipped. The judgment comes from leading. The edge comes from building.

If you are scaling a product organisation, that combination is the point: strategy set at the top, verified hands-on.

Vantage

A decision-support screener for Indonesian equities. It watches the whole market, attributes broker flow, and scores intraday signals so the trader makes the final call. Not a bot, by design.

The situation

IDX has no retail API, and reading smart-money flow is manual, slow, and expensive. I wanted institutional-grade flow analysis on a retail trader's desk, starting with my own.

The calls I made

  • Built the entire data layer from scratch: end-of-day tape, broker summaries, and a 3-second orderbook feed.
  • Drew the product line at decision support, not automation. Vantage surfaces evidence and conviction tiers, the trader makes every call.
  • Rebuilt the scoring engine from data, not intuition: per-alert lift analysis over 67,000 labeled alerts set the v2 weights, and every decision is stamped with a weights version for post-deploy monitoring.
  • Encoded market microstructure as guardrails: tick-size tiers, special-monitoring-board filters, and an optional Sharia mode.

PM-OS

A personal operating system for product leadership: meeting capture, task clarification, a semantic knowledge base, and daily briefs. Written as a PRD first, then shipped through gated slices.

The situation

Product leadership runs on operational overhead: notes, tasks, email, and context scattered across tools that never share what they know. I wanted one system where every interaction feeds a knowledge base that compounds.

The calls I made

  • Wrote the PRD before the code: baseline-before-optimizing metrics, explicit non-goals, and pass/fail gates for every slice.
  • Designed one shared backbone (a PostgreSQL and pgvector knowledge store plus an LLM layer) with capture decoupled from processing, so the core survives any change of device or tooling.
  • Made privacy an architecture decision: self-hosted transcription, local embeddings, passkey auth, encrypted tokens, and a confirm queue so nothing is sent without sign-off.
  • Shipped slice 1 end to end: capture to clarify to schedule to calendar, as an installable PWA.

AwanTunai Lending Suite

Five years of end-to-end product leadership for MSME lending in Indonesia, from senior PM to Head of Product, across microloans, supplier financing, and trade financing.

The situation

Indonesia's MSMEs run on informal credit. AwanTunai lends against supply-chain data that banks cannot see, which means the product is the risk engine.

The calls I made

  • Built and led a product organisation of 9 across lending, risk, and repayment.
  • Bet on ML risk scoring over manual review: approval time fell from days to under 24 hours, and loan outstanding rose ~35% in two quarters.
  • Drove virtual-account repayment adoption from under 10% to 40%, lifting repayment efficiency by ~25%.
  • Built an Early Warning System that cut the NPL ratio by 15% while the portfolio kept scaling.
