I have been working in SaaS industry throughout my whole software engineering career in Indonesia and the Netherlands, so I know its challenges quite well. I have special knowledge of Billing Subscription domain, having worked on it for 5 years in two separate companies and completely different environments.

After experiencing what it is like to serve more than 80 million customers worldwide when working for WeTransfer for 2.5 years, I decided to carry my 8+ years engineering experience into entrepreneurial ventures and become solopreneur.
