I'm Indonesian and I live in The Netherlands.
My tech journey began a few years ago when I first learned HTML, followed by CSS, JavaScript, and React. Over the years, some parts of tech have become my happy place and where I grow. I'm talking about technical writing (particularly documentation), open source, and tech communities.
I'm a tech blogger who loves to learn new stuff and share my findings on my blog and other platforms like DEV, freeCodeCamp, and Hashnode.
I enjoy being active in tech communities and contributing to open source projects. Right now, I'm the Education Team Lead at Mautic, the Documentation Team Lead at the Virtual Coffee community, and I'm also a maintainer for some open source projects. See my work and contributions in open source at my Curated Open Source Portfolio.
🗣 I can speak four languages: Indonesian, English, Dutch, and Japanese.
☕ I'm obsessed with ICED coffee, especially Caramel Macchiato.
