About me
Defined by a background that spans multiple disciplines, I thrive in the space between different perspectives. Some might see it as a confusion, I see it as my greatest strength: a toolkit built for solving the most complex human challenges. This is my story.
During pandemic, I was feeling so lost and insignificant. I taught Mathematics privately to high school students, joined several internships, but still, it was difficult to get a full-time job.
I realized that to survive and thrive, I needed to adapt with job market demand. That’s why I switched my career to IT, a field with better promise compared to (sadly) the limited opportunities for science graduates in Indonesia.

But IT is such a broad field, I didn't know where to start without having any mentor. So I explored several paths in Coursera and YouTube: UX design, machine learning, also web development just to see where my interest goes. Each exploration gave me "sneak peek" into something that might interesting to pursue further.

I joined two bootcamp programs, learned MERN stack and landed a fulltime job as a developer using a low-code platform. I also interned at Apple Developer Academy Bali and learned mobile development in Apple ecosystem.

Also in Apple Academy, I practice research and ideation process before executing any solutions. During this phase, I discovered the beauty of intentional design, how thoughtful design could really transform user experiences and eventually, make the world better.

The more I walk in this journey, the more I see myself as someone with constant curiosity and awareness. I enjoy being aware of complexity and ambiguity around me and see how can I translate it into solutions with clarity.

So far, my career journey might seems uncertain and full of experiments, because it truly is. I always see this as a human experience. Each steps reflect my belief in living fully, doing something I really interest and can put my heart in it, learning from every challenge while surviving and figuring out my life purpose.

…all of those experiences shaped me into someone rich in perspectives, able to approach every problem with empathy and wisdom, also commit to bring meaningful impact.
