About Me
My journey is not a linear path; it is a testament to a core philosophy: "Pain is the currency of change." It is a belief built on the deliberate choice to seek discomfort as the raw material for building capability.
This philosophy was cemented when I chose to study Physics at a demanding university. I did not choose this path for an easy career but because I knew its rigor would forge the work ethic and analytical mindset I lacked. It was an intentional source of challenge, a simulation for the high-stakes responsibilities I wished to pursue.
That challenge culminated in my fourth semester. I faced significant academic failure and a profound sense of inadequacy, which led to a period of intense personal struggle. However, it was in this "valley of despair" on solitary 2 AM walks to find clarity I found what it takes to orient myself to bounce back. I created structure to my daily life, reflecting often to quantify and iterate on my systemic habits on a weekly basis. Since then I naturally stopped avoiding pressure and began to use it as a catalyst of growth.
I immediately put this new conviction to the test. As the newly appointed Head of Web Engineering for a major student organization event, I took on the responsibility of building a full-stack platform from scratch. In a two-week, intensive sprint, working almost entirely alone without prior experience (it was my first project repo on github), I delivered the project on a good standing.
This Experience Became My Operating Model
I have since intentionally sought out and manufactured pressure to accelerate my growth:
I successfully graduated from Google's intensive Bangkit Academy (Machine Learning path) while simultaneously managing a 22-credit academic overload in Physics.
I learned Go, Flutter, and Docker in about one month to build and deploy a POC AI prototype ("Bersama Bill ID") for Artajasa, which was successfully demonstrated live to hundreds of banking executives.
I am actively mentoring 12 of my peers in Physics that are interested in going into the IT industry, guiding them through IT projects we build together to build a community of practice where one did not exist.
Guiding Principles
This journey has codified two non-negotiable principles in my work:
Radical Accountability
I believe progress is impossible without absolute ownership. I operate by holding myself accountable for every outcome, a mindset that ensures I deliver on commitments, especially when the stakes are high.
Strategic Commitment
The most critical step in any project is the initial decision to commit. By deliberately choosing the difficult path I'm capable of handling until the end, I manufacture the conditions pacing for intense focus and rapid development. The execution is simply the inevitable consequence of that initial, unhesitating promise.
What Excites Me
I am driven by the challenge of bridging the gap between abstract technical capability and tangible business value. My ambition is to build foundational technology in a high-growth environment, ideally as a founding engineer or product-focused technologist. I thrive in teams that value ownership, operate with a bias for action, and are not afraid to tackle audacious goals.
This journey is not accidental; it is a deliberate process of building a foundation for large-scale impact.
