Here you will find a variety of things I create – including haikus, sketches, book reviews, and sometimes other random bits as I learn new skills. You can also find some of my personal finance tips here.
I am a product engineer based in Sydney, Australia currently crafting product experience at hireup.com.au in the Australia’s disability services industry. Before this, I worked at online-pajak.com, one of the largest enterprise SaaS startups in 🇮🇩.
I have previously worked at a travel media startup in 🇦🇺 with portfolio portals such as familytravel.com.au and MyDiscoveries portal (now defunct). On occasions, I maintain past personal projects in 🇮🇩 , such as kertanegararesto.com and kertanegaraguesthouse.com.
My work is not tied to any specific programming language, and I have recently been working extensively with JAMstack and Kotlin Spring Boot. In addition, I have prior experience with headless WordPress, Ruby on Rails development and cloud sysadmin tooling.
Through my interests in 武道, I became well-versed in 🇯🇵 culture. During pandemic years, I brushed up on my language skills and can now converse in easy 日本語. I also enjoy studying 🇰🇷 dramas which sparked my interest in Korean culture, including 한류, 요리 and 음식. My taste buds are now accustomed to 🇰🇷 flavors.
I enjoy reading about the history of democracy, particularly in the United States. Because of my interest in my ancestral roots, I also like reading about the modern and ancient history of East Asia, including 🇨🇳 🇯🇵 🇰🇷 🇹🇼 and 🇲🇳.
