About Me

I'm currently a Computer Science student majoring in Information Systems at the Faculty of Computer Science, Universitas Indonesia. I write (and break) software.

I'm genuinely interested in the ethics of computing; what we build and what we ACTUALLY ship. I did considered a philosophy degree before I unavoidably went into Computer Science, so I guess that lens stuck around.

I care about standards and how systems survive for years, even decades. For some reason, backwards compatibility gets treated as technical debt, but really, it's a constraint that teaches you something. That weird "for who?" decisions we make just to not break things. I feel like there's wisdom there if you look closely.

Broadly, I'm curious about programming languages, the web platform, and open source software.
