About Me

Frenky Harry by Niko Wiratma

I've loved computers since middle school. They weren't widely available where I grew up, so I'd go to computer rental shops just to mess around in MS Word — printing WordArt was the highlight. In high school, my school finally built its first computer lab, and I spent more nights there than I probably should have. That's where I first met the World Wide Web, and where I decided I wanted to build websites.

I studied Information Technology at Maranatha Christian University in Bandung. Job hunting as a fresh graduate was anything but easy, and I eventually decided Bandung wasn't where I'd grow fastest. I took a Web Developer offer at Tokopedia, moved to Jakarta, and the rest is history.

Where I've Worked

Now Showing

Senior Backend Engineer @ XenithPay

July 2024 Present

XenithPay is a B2B payment aggregator serving merchants from small businesses to enterprise. I lead system design and own the integrations with payment gateways and banking partners that keep merchant money moving.

  • Architect core platform capabilities end-to-end, balancing reliability, throughput, and operational simplicity for a payments-grade workload.
  • Lead integrations with payment gateways and banking partners — covering API contracts, reconciliation, settlement, incident response, and partner-specific compliance.
  • Design pluggable backend modules so new partners and payment methods come online without re-architecting the core, keeping the long tail of merchant integrations manageable.
  • Drive the team's adoption of LLM-assisted development across code review, documentation, and integration scaffolding to ship faster without trading off quality.
  • Partner with product, ops, and merchant-success teams to keep onboarding, settlement, and dispute flows running smoothly across small-business and enterprise tiers.

Currently Exploring

01 / 02

Web3 is one of the recent shifts that caught my attention. The pace of change in blockchain — across both adoption and tooling — is hard to look away from. Enthusiasts call it the future. I'm not fully convinced yet, but learning something new never hurts.

02 / 02

I've also been going back to fundamentals. My bachelor's is in Information Technology, so I never built the deep computer-science grounding that some of my peers did. It's been rewarding to dig into how the systems I use every day actually work underneath.
