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.
Also, a televised conversation on IDX Channel’s Market Review (Sep 2025) on listing strategy and regional expansion in the technology sector.
Trails mostly, a few road ultras, one overdue finish. Kept honest by including the DNFs. Most of the essays on this site were first drafted on one of these.
The season’s hardest race and the one I am pointing everything at. More elevation than I have any business attempting.
Welirang and Arjuno in one day. A first attempt.
Sixty kilometres of road loops. A training block disguised as a race.
First ultra distance finished. Crossed the line just after sunrise, tired in a way I had not been tired before.
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.
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.
Site deliberately free of an email address. If we are already in touch, you know where to find me.
