Albert Purnama is a founder-stage CTO with nine years of experience building and scaling web-first product platforms, currently leading engineering at The Prompting Company after roles at beehiiv, Typedream, and Cotter (YC). He has repeatedly shipped website builders and editor tooling at scale—extending ProseMirror/Tiptap for site building and architecting an AI-driven site generator whose output interops with Figma and Framer. His background blends product-facing frontend engineering with backend systems: email pipelines on AWS, web3 token auth, and small-team leadership that turned platform ideas into hundreds of thousands of live sites. Based in South San Francisco, he pairs startup grit and YC experience with a CS degree from UC San Diego, and a knack for turning rich editor primitives into broadly adopted product features.
