About / Dahlan
A practical approach
to building.
I’m Dahlan Revara Mahesa, founder of Mahesa Group, based in Indonesia. My current focus is ElevApps and the work of making digital commerce easier to navigate.
Current work
Close to the everyday details.
I work on the parts of commerce that customers encounter directly: the storefront, product descriptions, ordering guidance, and the handoff after a purchase.
With ElevApps, that means refining the public website while working on the customer workflows behind it. Small points of confusion are useful places to start.
