Just learned to write my thoughts as, apparently, it helps me reflect, improve decision making, and maybe, just maybe, it can be helpful to other people.

A Journey Back
A few years back, when we were building our family’s future plans, financial projections became one of our biggest priorities. As someone who tends to be very realistic (pessimistic, perhaps), creating family financial forecasts felt difficult. It’s different from making a business plan.

Build for User, Not for Metrics
We’ve all been there: signing up for a new app or platform, only to forget about it a few days later. 😅 As founders, or maybe part of the product team, we often focus on metrics like the number of registered users. You want to have as many people registered as possible, which you can…

Biasanya kami mengambil jalan darat, tapi karena menemukan promo tiket sehingga hitungan biayanya jadi sebanding, kami memilih pesawat.

Things I’m Interested on
Looks random. But it is what it is.
Tech Business
Having been involved in this field for quite some time, I’m interested in building tech business. I believe technology has been a proven catalyst in driving innovation, economy and people’s quality of life.
Specially interested in Product Management, Project Management and Tech Leadership
Football
Played football for fun since high school, and fell in love with it. I’m an avid Chelsea and Inter fans, and grew with Football Manager since CM era. Tweak my FPL team on weekly basis, still aiming to break the 10.000 rank barrier.
Japanese Culture
Have been reading manga since my childhood, I have soft spot for Japanese culture. I’m impressed with how children learnt various life skills since kindergarten, while being polite to each other.
Still hoping to be able to read the ending of One Piece during my lifetime. God bless Oda.
What I do
I work mainly in digital and tech space. I’ve been running my own businesses (with trusted partners, of course) since 2010.
