About

Quick facts

I grew up in Jakarta, Indonesia, with my parents coming from Central Java.
I speak ~5 languages. I am bilingual in Indonesian & English, can understand Javanese, and learned some German & Mandarin.
I love playing badminton, running, and taking pictures outdoors.
Three deadly combinations for me: Chai, Chobani, and Netflix.
