In the middle of a journey called life

Born in not-so-small city of Medan, Indonesia but currently lived in Singapore. I enjoyed the process of learning new things. I have dipped my toes in photography, coding, networking, and industrial automation to name a few.

What have I done so far

Since 2006, I’ve been working in Industrial Automation industry, specifically in dairy processing. Before that, had done some stint in administrative work for printing industry and technician in packaging machine distributor.

This site

One of my goal in 2021 is to get a personal website, and I am doing it at the very end of 2021. This site will contain hodgepodge of topic, from coding, to industrial automation. Hopefully this will keep me entertained throughout my journey.
