About

I'm an engineering leader with 14+ years building and scaling fintech and SaaS platforms in fast-growing startups. I currently lead engineering at BukuWarung, where I own payments and financial products serving over 100,000 daily active SMB merchants across Indonesia.

My focus is on AI-enabled automation, data-driven decision systems, and cloud-native architecture — turning engineering execution into business outcomes: shipping faster, cutting cost, and keeping platforms reliable under regulatory constraints. I've led global teams from 8 to 80+ people, across Tokyo, Shanghai, Chennai, Singapore, and India.

Outside of work I spend time on music, movies, table tennis, travelling, cooking.

I'm based in Bengaluru, India. You can reach me at arunmchaitanya@outlook.com or find me on the links below. For the detailed version, see my résumé.
