A Story of
Gratitude

2 Years

"Some chapters change you. This was one of them."

Begin the story

Chapter I — The Beginning

Two years ago, I opened my laptop at home—and quietly stepped into a journey that would redefine everything I thought I knew about building things that matter.

My name is Muhammad Rijal. From March 2024 to April 2026, I gave this company my curiosity, my care, and my craft. Every product decision, every API integration, every sleepless night debugging — made with full heart.

What I found here was not just a workplace. I found a community that pushed me to grow, challenged me to think deeper, and showed me what it means to build something truly together. For that — I am endlessly, permanently grateful.

Chapter II — The Work

Projects I poured myself into — each one a story of its own.

Flagship Project
up2female
My anchor. I managed the full product cycle — overseeing every order flowing through Shopee, and architecting the API integration that connected Shopee and Odoo into one seamless, living operation. This is where I learned that product management isn't about features. It's about people, timing, and trust earned slowly over time.

Content & Feature
MPL Indonesia
Content management, new features, and page buildouts for Indonesia's most passionate esports platform. Every element served a community of millions who live and breathe competitive gaming.
Content Management Feature Development New Pages
Regional · PH & MY
MPL Philippines & Malaysia
Extended the same care and precision to two new markets — adapting content, building localised features, and ensuring each platform felt genuinely native to its audience and culture.

Chapter III — Words From Me

To the people who shaped me —

I came here two years ago as someone eager to prove himself. I leave as someone who finally understands what it means to belong.   You gave me real responsibility, real trust, and real challenges — the kind that don't come from a job description, but from people who actually believe in who you can become.   Every project was more than a deliverable. It was a conversation. A conversation about quality, about craft — about the kind of work that makes you proud long after the deadline has passed.   I will carry every lesson, every late night, and every shared laugh with me — wherever the next chapter takes me.

Great Adventure

This chapter closes, but the story continues. Everything I learned, every connection made, every moment of growth — they do not end here. They become the foundation of everything that comes next.

Thank you — with all the sincerity I have.
