Essays and notes, written mostly on weekends.
I write mostly on weekends from Jakarta. During the week, I work in finance at an Indonesian public company, where the work has taught me the value of patience, clarity, and doing things properly.
Outside work, I run, play mini soccer and chess, and try to make sense of things by writing them down. Many of the essays here began as notes to myself, often after a long run or at the end of a busy week.
I write because the page helps me think more clearly. It also gives me a way to slow down, finish a thought properly, and keep learning in public.
Pieces published in Indonesian and regional outlets. Mostly on finance, governance, technology, and the habits of long-term thinking.
Trails mostly, a few road ultras.
A road half through Jakarta.
The season’s hardest race and the one I am pointing everything at. More elevation than I have any business attempting.
Up to the Welirang summit at 3,156 m, then the long descent to the line.
A road 10K through central Jakarta, run with the family.
A flat road half through BSD, start to finish.
Sixty kilometres of road loops, done inside the ten-hour cutoff. Flat is its own kind of relentless.
View results →First ultra distance finished. Crossed the line just after sunrise, tired in a way I had not been tired before.
View results →Pulled at the fourth checkpoint. Cold, underfuelled, out of my depth at altitude. Taught me more than any finish line could have.
A reminder that humidity in Jakarta is its own kind of elevation.
First trail race. Came home muddy and slightly obsessed.
Occasional conversations on finance, governance, and technology — the odd panel, lecture, or interview.
On moving from AI awareness to adoption in finance, and where human judgement and accountability must stay at the center.

Read the post →The best way to reach me is through LinkedIn. Tell me what you are working on, what you are stuck on, and what a useful reply would look like. I try to respond to every message, though not always quickly.
