Irvan Maulana

Irvan started as Team Lead at PT eBdesk Teknologi in 2016 — but more importantly, he spent 4.5 years there with consistent progression: Team Lead, then Project Manager, then Backend Engineer for media management intelligence, intelligence perceptions, email analysis, and Peta Mudik. The breadth of projects shaped a mindset he carries to this day: every system has its own business context, and good engineers start from understanding that context.

After eBdesk, Irvan joined Bandung Fe Institute as Senior Backend Specialist, then freelanced at AssetData.io. In 2021, he joined Jabar Digital Service — where he spent 4 years with significant trajectory: Senior Backend Engineer, then Technical/Software Architect (3.5 years), then Software Programmer. During his time at JDS, he was one of the architects behind Sapawarga, the West Java provincial super-app used by millions of residents.

In parallel with JDS, Irvan also served as Technical Lead at Fazpass for 3 years. There, he led the end-to-end development of a multi-factor authentication platform from zero to production: high-availability backend architecture, integration with 30+ providers, real-time analytics and telemetry, and FIDO-based passwordless authentication implementation. During this project, he reduced enterprise authentication costs by ~60% through dynamic vendor selection. Engineering that had to be right across many dimensions simultaneously.

In the same period, he was also Back End Engineer at OVO and PT Finnet — both projects implementing BI SNAP, Indonesia's payment system regulation. Specific and rare experience: how technical systems must align with regulations that shift.

Since 2023, Irvan has been running his own founder track: Aerokidz, and more recently Gogoda. At Dartstudio, he is a Pegiat Circle who joins on a project basis when an engagement requires backend architecture depth — especially for systems that need to live in production with small error margins: authentication, payment, or other critical infrastructure.
