Hi everyone,


My name is Alvian, and I am currently working as a Technical Program Manager in the digital banking industry. I have over 5 years of experience across software engineering, product management, IT consulting, project management, and technical program management.

Throughout my career, I have worked with cross-functional teams across Southeast Asia, Singapore, and China to deliver large-scale technology initiatives. My experience spans software development, product strategy, stakeholder management, process optimization, and business transformation through technology.

In my previous role at Shopee International, I managed more than 50 projects across multiple markets and collaborated with stakeholders from engineering, product, operations, and business teams. Beyond my core responsibilities, I served as a lead mentor and facilitator for internal Effective Communication training programs, helping employees strengthen collaboration and communication skills across teams.

Currently, I have been working for approximately one year as a Technical Program Manager at a digital bank, where I lead strategic initiatives including QRIS implementation, bill payment services, mobile app home screen redesign, public offering-related programs, and cost optimization initiatives. These programs require coordination across engineering, product, business, compliance, legal, risk, and executive leadership teams.

Before moving into program management, I worked as a Software Engineer, Product Owner, and IT Consultant. During the early stages of my career, I was actively involved in helping startups transform ideas into products by supporting product discovery, roadmap planning, MVP development, funding preparation, and early user adoption strategies. I have contributed to products across healthcare, education, online examination platforms, and enterprise management systems for organizations such as schools and hospitals.

Outside of my professional work, I am passionate about mentorship and community development. I have delivered training sessions and workshops for technology professionals, startup founders, university students, and fresh graduates. I have also served as a trainer and speaker in programs organized by government institutions, including initiatives related to product development, digital transformation, and technology careers. Supporting aspiring professionals and helping others grow in the technology ecosystem has been one of the most rewarding parts of my career.

My long-term goal is to become a technology executive who can bridge business strategy, product innovation, and large-scale program execution. To accelerate that journey, I plan to pursue an MBA at a leading global institution such as Harvard Business School, Stanford GSB, MIT Sloan, Wharton, INSEAD, or London Business School. I also intend to pursue scholarship opportunities such as LPDP and Fulbright.

I am currently beginning my GMAT preparation journey and targeting a competitive score that will support applications to top MBA programs. I am excited to learn from this community, exchange experiences with fellow candidates, and contribute wherever I can.

Looking forward to connecting with everyone and sharing this journey together.
