Summary
Heri Setiawan is a product-focused software engineer and research leader with 11 years of experience building user-facing and scalable web platforms across games, fintech, e-commerce, and healthcare. He blends hands-on frontend expertise—moving large codebases from JS to TypeScript, designing frontend architectures with React, and translating designs into production MVPs—with a pragmatic, user-first mindset rooted in early PSD-to-HTML work. As a Research Director and former front-end lead, he excels at turning product vision into executable plans, aligning research, engineering, and business goals to ship maintainable features quickly. Notable technical wins include cutting CI builds from over an hour to under five minutes, creating a GPT-4 function call wrapper compatible with OpenAPI, and shipping serverless Next.js APIs on AWS Lambda. He’s experienced building low-code tools and internal plugins to empower non-dev teams, a sign of his focus on leverage and scale beyond individual contributions. Based in Bandung, Indonesia, he thrives in small, fast-moving teams where cross-functional collaboration and pragmatic delivery matter.
