Scaling Travel Tech Across Asia
I lead engineering across Ferries, Asia expansion, and AI-native delivery models so lean teams can move with speed, judgment, and clarity.
I spend most of my time in two places: helping travel products expand into new markets, and helping engineering teams stay composed, effective, and high-leverage as the system grows more complex.
🌏 Current Scope
Asia Expansion
Helping Omio expand into Japan and Southeast Asia without turning every market requirement into a one-off decision.
The work spans localisation, provider nuance, operating discipline, and product choices that remain coherent a year later.
Global Ferries
Running the systems behind search, booking, and ticketing for Omio’s Ferries business.
That means provider integrations, booking flows, and the reliability work customers only notice when it fails.
AI-Native Delivery
Building an engineering model where specs, review automation, and agentic tooling actually reduce drag.
I care less about novelty and more about giving engineers more time for judgment, design, and hard problem solving.
🧭 How I Lead
Strategy before motion
I focus on turning ambiguous goals into clear bets, explicit tradeoffs, and a sharp understanding of what not to build.
Teams with real leverage
My job is to build teams that make strong decisions independently, not teams that accumulate process every quarter.
Execution with guardrails
Fast teams need strong defaults: clear specs, thoughtful review, solid observability, and rollback paths when reality disagrees.
✨ Highlights
Scaling travel across regions and transport modes
Leading Asia expansion while owning the global Ferries engineering surface.
Built and led a 30+ person org across backend, web, and mobile
Launched new lending products, reduced infrastructure cost, and rebuilt delivery systems across the stack.
Helped shape Android architecture for a 300M+ user product
Worked on platform capabilities including Picture-in-Picture, caching, live experiences, and a backend-switchable networking layer.
From mobile specialist to org builder
The throughline in my career is consistent: stay close to the product, go deep on systems, and build teams that can carry both.
✍️ Writing, Speaking, and Recognition
Writing
I write about mobile architecture, CI/CD, Kubernetes, Play Store operations, and the systems that help engineering teams improve over time.
Speaking
I’ve spoken at Google for Startups, Firebase community events, and engineering meetups about scale, delivery, and developer effectiveness.
Recognition
Google Developer Expert in Firebase, mentor at Scaler, and Kubernetes certified through CKA and CKAD.
