The Problem
Inconsistent product-card contracts and promotion logic created coordination and maintenance costs. New commerce benefits also had to appear correctly across search surfaces without introducing unacceptable latency or rollout risk.
The Architecture
Shared product contracts
Centralized the product-card response to reduce platform-specific behavior and repeated maintenance.
Benefits shoppers can use
Integrated personalized coupons, net pricing, promotion labels, and discovery behavior into the existing search journey.
Measured delivery
Operated technical rollouts and partnered with Product and Data Science on experiment results and shipping decisions.
The Execution
Owned the backend and cross-platform contracts for Tokopedia’s product-card redesign, then led search-side delivery of pricing, coupon, promotion, and discovery initiatives. The work connected backend implementation to measurable shopping outcomes.
What I owned
- PIC for the product-card redesign: finalized request/response contracts, tracked frontend adoption, and implemented the backend API.
- Main point of contact for coupon initiatives, independently developing the search-side feature and aligning Product, Data Science, Promotion, and QA.
- Owned search-side pricing integration and took campaign and discovery features through testing and experiment rollout.
Technical impact
- Defined and implemented a new search product API contract with Android, iOS, desktop, and Ads teams. Organic and advertising product cards used the same contract.
- Integrated pricing and promotion across three search modules, proactively tested six APIs, and kept reported search latency below 550 ms for that integration.
- Handled promotion display, popups, and claims, as well as product, video, store, and advertising-card assembly in the API layer.
- Implemented recommendation decompression, deduplication, and sorting, as well as configurable campaign banners and experiment controls.
The Result
- Main Orders per User
- +5.7%

- The 2024 price-center integration reported GMV growth of 11% and conversion growth of 1.97%. Shop-page recommendation work separately reported shop GMV growth of 7.75%.
- The supplied CV reports Bonus Promotion A/B wins of GMV per User +3.1%, Main Orders per User +5.7%, and Payment Penetration +3.3%, plus Instant & Same-Day delivery labels with Order Rate +1.1%.

My product work covers the contract, implementation, rollout, and measured outcome, with direct collaboration across engineering and commercial teams.
