— A bit more about me

01 — Origin

From a small town in East Java.

I grew up in Nganjuk — a quiet city where ambition sometimes feels bigger than the surroundings. From early on, I was drawn to puzzles, logic, and the quiet satisfaction of figuring things out. That curiosity eventually led me to code.

02 — Why CS

I chose CS because it's the closest thing to building worlds.

Computing felt like a superpower. The idea that you could express an idea precisely enough that a machine would execute it — that's wild to me. I came to ITB wanting to understand not just how to write code, but how systems actually work at a deep level.

03 — Current Focus

Where I am right now.

I'm in my fourth semester, currently balancing OOP, Algorithm Strategy, Formal Language Theory, Computer Networks, and Database Systems. My academic path runs parallel to a personal obsession with Data Science, Machine Learning, and building things that are both functional and thoughtfully designed.

04 — Values

What I believe about good software.

Great software is an act of empathy. It anticipates how real people will use it, fails gracefully when things go wrong, and respects the time of everyone who touches it — users, maintainers, and future developers. I try to build with that in mind.

05 — Next

Where I'm headed.

I want to work at the intersection of AI systems and real-world impact — whether that's in NLP, Computer Vision, or the infrastructure that powers large-scale data products. I'm actively competing, building, and learning to get there.
