About

  1. Growing up

    My first move abroad

    I grew up in a suburb just outside Jakarta. I wanted to explore the world and experience something completely new, so I decided to study abroad. Somehow that meant Germany, a country where even the language was foreign to me. Kaiserslautern and Studienkolleg were the beginning of all of it.

  2. 2019 - 2023

    Pursuing cybersecurity

    At Saarland University, cybersecurity was a big thing on campus. I got curious and decided to pursue it. I did not realise how difficult the degree would be. I struggled, a lot, but kept going and finally graduated in 2023!

  3. 2024 - now

    Moving to Hobart

    Germany had been about seeing more of the world. Hobart was different: after some time back in Indonesia with my family, I moved here to build a life with my partner. I’m also doing a master’s at UTAS because I want to keep learning and go further in software engineering.

Outside work

I love cooking, mostly because there’s good food at the end of it. I take racquet sports casually, play video games, and usually have a small project going to make daily life a bit better. My home tends to be the test subject.
