   Dual role: owned product direction (RFCs, flow diagrams, backlog, stakeholder alignment) while architecting and implementing core platform capabilities across SIT/UAT/PRD environments.

   • Migrated 150+ legacy NiFi-based reports from on-prem to BigQuery-backed Java Report Service, eliminating recurring monthly outages and adding version control and audit trails; built self-service Report Admin Web enabling SysOps to independently manage schedules, recipient lists, and report regeneration.

   • Designed the platform's product roadmap for future data monetization (freemium/paywall model) and expansion from QRIS to Biller, Mitra, Payment Channel and Disbursement transaction tracking.
   • Upgraded report scheduler from Java 11 to Java 21 with virtual threads, reducing peak thread usage by 75%, eliminating GC pressure spikes, and accelerating report generation time by 83% (12 min → 2 min); extended delivery options with an API channel alongside existing email and SFTP.
   • Authored Business & Technical RFCs — including system flow diagrams, data mapping specifications, and ERD definitions — translating stakeholder pain points from Finance, Operations, and Compliance into precise engineering requirements with testable acceptance criteria.
   • Specified data pipeline requirements for Datastream integration (Cloud SQL → BigQuery), enabling scalable analytics while ensuring UUPDP-compliant data handling.
   • Authored RFC for a standalone ETL service to ingest user engagement data (MoEngage APIs → BigQuery & AppsFlyer APIS -> BigQuery), enabling behavioral analytics and automating regulatory compliance reporting for Bank Indonesia.
   • Prioritized platform backlog using WSJF scoring, balancing technical debt reduction against new feature requests across 200+ critical merchant reports.
   • Owned full delivery testing cycle across SIT, UAT, and PRD — authored acceptance criteria, executed functional validation, and coordinated release sign-off.
   • Managed production incidents including a scheduler outage that halted all scheduled merchant reports — coordinated triage, issued stakeholder updates, and authored post-mortem with root cause analysis and corrective action plan.
   • Collaborated cross-functionally across 5 core service teams (Auth, Payment Channel, User, QRIS, Biller) to deliver integrated product features.
   • Migrated scheduled queries to Dataform, establishing version control and improving data pipeline visibility.
