About

Engineering is easy to do. It's hard to do in a way that scales — with the team, with the codebase, with the organisation.

That's the problem I keep coming back to. Over 10+ years, I've led iOS teams, shaped architecture decisions, and shipped features used by hundreds of millions of people at Target and Tokopedia. But the work I'm most proud of isn't any single feature — it's the engineers I've helped grow, the patterns that outlived my involvement, and the systems that let teams move faster than they could before.

I'm currently leading the List & Registry iOS team at Target. Outside of that, I mentor engineers on Topmate, write about iOS architecture and Swift on this blog, and speak at iOS meetups.

If you're building something interesting in mobile — or just want to think through a hard problem — I'd genuinely enjoy the conversation.
