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 Documentation and Monthly Challenge Team Lead at the Virtual Coffee community, and I'm also a maintainer for some open source projects.
🗣 I can speak four languages: Indonesian, English, Dutch, and Japanese.
☕ I'm obsessed with ICED coffee, especially Caramel Macchiato.
