With a background in Computer Science and three years as a Software Engineer building fintech solutions for over 40 banks, I've pivoted to Business Development in the maritime logistics industry. Currently leading operations in Medan, I manage vessel operations, container logistics (COC/SOC), and coordinate with diverse stakeholders including shipping lines, NVOCCs, and freight forwarders. Each experience is a building block toward a future that seamlessly blends technical expertise with strategic business acumen in the global shipping industry.
