Hi, I’m Indra Kusuma.
I build fast,
scalable web
experiences.
I’m a full-stack engineer with 10+ years of experience building web products, backend services, and developer tools. Currently at ByteDance, previously Tokopedia.
I build and maintain core commerce at Tokopedia and TikTok Shop, own the performance budget, and use AI agents to ship faster without loosening the bar on tests or scale.

Fullstack & AI-native toolkit
The stack I reach for day to day — each one I've used to ship and maintain production-grade applications serving real users at scale, from frontend to backend to deployment.
Frontend at scale
Own high-traffic React surfaces end to end — architecture, state, and the performance budget.
Backend & data
Build and maintain the services behind them, from API design to schema and query performance.
Performance
Diagnose and fix Core Web Vitals — led a cross-team perf working group at Tokopedia.
Developer experience
Own the toolchain a team lives in daily — bundling, tests and lint that stay fast as the codebase grows.
Infrastructure & delivery
Ship it and keep it up — containers, CI pipelines, and the edge and cloud it runs on.
AI-native delivery
Ship faster with agentic tooling in the loop — and the judgement for where it doesn’t belong.
