Rafeequl Rahman is a seasoned technology leader with 17 years of experience building and scaling products and engineering teams across Indonesia’s tech ecosystem. As Chief Product and Application Development at Kawan Lama Group and former CTO/VP engineering at fast-growing companies like Mekari and Midtrans, he specializes in taking products from zero to scale while designing architectures that prioritize maintainability and real-time operations. He led transformations that turned monoliths into microservices, raised test coverage to 90%, and cut data sync latency from days to under one minute nationwide. Hands-on by practice, he still designs systems, reviews architecture, and writes code to model engineering best practices while mentoring teams to ship safely and rapidly. Beyond product engineering, he advises startups on AI-powered features and modern stacks (pg_vector, LLMs) and co-founded a consumer app, demonstrating both strategic and executional range. An inline skater in his spare time, he brings a pragmatic, data-driven approach to tradeoffs that balances short-term velocity with long-term team productivity.
