I often describe myself as a jack of all trades, master of none. I'm someone who's easily drawn to many things, from building aquascapes and hiking to tinkering with motorcycles and coding. My journey into tech began in vocational high school with a major in Information Systems, but fate led me to pursue a university degree in Economics. That curiosity never stopped; I've started a coffee shop during university, offered data processing services, and even ran a small food stall. All of these have been valuable experiences that shaped who I am today.

Since 2024, I've started a new chapter as an expatriate in Malaysia, working in risk management for an international company. This diverse work environment, where I meet colleagues from Japan, Korea, the Philippines, and many other countries, has rekindled my passion for learning Japanese and its kanji. Although I used to dislike traveling, I now cherish every opportunity to explore new places.

The life motto I'm trying to live by is the Javanese philosophy of eling lan waspodo, which means to stay mindful and vigilant of your original purpose amidst life's many distractions. For me, it’s a reminder to stay focused on my dreams, one of which is to explore mountains all over the world. Through this blog, I'll be sharing stories about my life, the places I visit, and the food I eat.
