Problem statement
- information around engineering entities was scattered
- ownership was not defined at all

What I did
- setup the team from scratch
- developed strategy for Engineering Platform to build infra as a product for Gojek
- unified all information around engineering onto one single portal

Outcomes
- MAU on the portal rose to 400 within 9 months since its inception
- our customers only had to go to our portal and use our CLI instead of asking people with tribal knowledge
- engineering platform as a team became much more focussed and developed a sense of purpose, the vast problem statement that we took became a lot crisper
- teams within the engineering platform finally had business metrics
