Now
Koro Roasters — specialty coffee, roasted in Gianyar and sold on Shopee, Tokopedia and TikTok Shop, with coverage in independent Indonesian press.
Rostoc — roastery operations software: inventory, batches, roast plans, machine data. A desktop app for macOS and Windows that ships signed, notarized auto-updates — v0.3.66 as of July 2026 — launched to national press with an industrial partner.
Before
A decade of technology leadership, executive from the start: CTO at Bumbee Labs in Stockholm, pioneering footfall analytics. VP of Engineering at Infarm in Berlin — employee #2, building the platform and the team that carried it to a successful series A. VP of Technology at Strata K.K. in Tokyo, growing the consultancy four-fold.

Work with me
I'm available as a fractional CTO: engineering leadership for teams that need to ship — architecture, delivery, and the team that sustains it. The job I've done from employee #2 to series A.
And I still build. Ship-it engineering for desktop and hybrid products: signed, notarized, auto-updating delivery, like the release pipeline behind Rostoc — public, mine end to end. I build pipeline that companies can own.
