I was born in Surabaya, Indonesia and was there until I graduated high school. I moved to Depok, Indonesia to have my Bachelor's Degree in Universitas Indonesia majoring in Computer Science.
Upon graduating, I had a job as a Software Engineer for two whole years before fulfilling my curiosity and taking up a challenge to do Master's Degree in Delft University of Technologies, Netherland in Computer Science, Software Technology Track.
My main interest is in the field of Cryptography, Privacy Enhancing Technologies, Software Engineering, and Quantum Information.
I am currently working as a Software Engineer in Automattic, a fully distributed company behind WordPress.com, WooCommerce, Tumblr, and more. In my spare time, I usually enjoy myself strolling around in a new city, taking random pictures, sometimes reading off-the-shelf books and playing games.
