Hi, I'm

Khairwar
Engineering Manager based in Singapore, leading teams in the SEA region. I build teams, products, and occasionally write about both.
Building teams across Southeast Asia — and caring deeply about the craft.
I'm an Engineering Manager at Kredivo, one of Southeast Asia's leading BNPL platforms. I'm based in Singapore and manage multiple engineering team in the SEA region — which means I spend a lot of time thinking about how to lead well across distance, time zones, and cultures.
I'm still figuring out what topics I want to write about - beside the typical engineering stuff.
