About the Team

We are a team of developers, designers and product managers with diverse academic, professional and personal backgrounds but united by the passion to enrich Data Platform & Analytics at Gojek through sound methods and ease of use. Working alongside the Product Managers, BI Analytics and Product Engineers, we are predominantly concerned with utilizing and translating data into critical information that can be used to make sound business decisions. 

This includes gathering any new data points, and working closely with various business teams to capture, connect, and convert any data changes into useful knowledge in guiding our next steps to create a meaningful business impact.

Combating remote work has brought us even closer, with frequent catch-ups over tea and sharing ways we have been keeping ourselves sane. Along with our desire to utilize smart technology and innovative engineering strategies to make people’s lives easier, our team also bonds over our shared love for reading, gaming, and drinking lots of coffee. We work hard and play hard, and believe it or not, we actually enjoy each other’s company!
