Today, as Vice President of Data and AI at tiket.com, I lead core internal R&D, embedding state-of-the-art AI and data science into real production systems—driving measurable business outcomes, sustainable growth, and long-term competitive advantage.
My focus is simple: turn cutting-edge research into scalable, high-impact products. Over the years, I’ve worn many hats—programmer, engineer, data scientist, researcher, security expert, manager, director, and strategist.
This journey gives me a rare advantage:
I can dive deep into the most technical discussions Translate complexity into executive-level decisions And lead multidisciplinary teams through ambiguity and scale
Beyond industry, I am deeply committed to education and mentorship.
I taught at Monash University and RMIT for eight years and currently serve as a lecturer and advisor at Universitas Bunda Mulia, helping shape the next generation of technology leaders. I am also an Industry Advisory Board member and chair for Monash University Indonesia.
When I’m not building or mentoring, you’ll find me reading, teaching, or traveling—always learning, always curious.
