I came to this from the engineering side of the sea, not the policy side. That vantage — structures, data, what actually holds in the water — is the one I keep.

Trajectory

Ocean Engineering, ITB (2016–2021) — where the sea became a system to be read rather than a setting to be described.

Project management + L&D, Telkom Corporate University (2022–2026) — where I learned the discipline of building programs that scale, and the humility to let evidence beat argument.

PMP (2025) — the credential that says I can run the work; not the reason I do it.

Maritime writing (2026 onward) — learning to read traffic and method, and to distrust any claim that could not be reproduced.

Master’s application (2027–2028 cycle) — Tsinghua, NUS, NTU shortlisted. Sharpening the lens and the argument that an open record outlives any one byline.

An outsider looking in has one advantage: no stake in the story staying the way it has always been told.

What I take seriously

The waters the region shares are an ecological, navigational, and infrastructural commons. The undersea is the quietest part of it and the least watched. I write to keep the account, and to build something that can keep it after me.

Serious domains
  • Maritime intelligence
  • ASEAN
  • AIS & vessel tracking
  • Undersea infrastructure
  • Writing

Read the record, or help keep it.

The clearest picture of the work is the writing and the datasets — landing from July 2026. If you want to help keep the record, the door is here.
