Scaling Travel Tech Across Asia
I lead engineering across Ferries, Asia expansion, and AI-native ways of building so small teams can move quickly without losing clarity.
I spend most of my time in two places: helping travel products grow into new markets, and helping engineering teams stay calm, sharp, and effective as the system gets more complicated.
🌏 Current Scope
Asia Expansion
Helping Omio grow into Japan and South East Asia without turning every market need into a one-off decision.
The work spans localisation, provider nuance, operating discipline, and product choices that still make sense 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 kind of reliability work customers only notice when it breaks.
AI-Native Delivery
Building an engineering model where specs, review automation, and agentic tooling actually reduce drag.
I care less about AI theatre and more about giving engineers more time for judgment, design, and problem solving.
🧭 How I Lead
Strategy before motion
I like turning fuzzy goals into clear bets, explicit tradeoffs, and a sharp sense of what we are not going to build.
Teams with real leverage
My job is to build teams that can make good decisions on their own, not teams that need more 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 thread through my career is simple: start close to the product, go deep on systems, and then build teams that can carry both.
✍️ Writing, Speaking, and Recognition
Writing
I write about mobile architecture, CI/CD, Kubernetes, Play Store operations, and how engineering teams actually get better.
Speaking
I’ve spoken at Google for Startups, Firebase community events, and engineering meetups about scale, delivery, and developer experience.
Recognition
Google Developer Expert in Firebase, mentor at Scaler, and Kubernetes certified through CKA and CKAD.
