Now

Work

I’m still working my 9–5 as an accountant in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Most of my days involve spreadsheets and financial reports. In addition to my daily work,, I’m building SIPD-RI Helper, a tool to automate repetitive tasks on the SIPD-RI web application. I’m also developing an internal application to help consolidate financial reports across the regional governments of Special Region of Yogyakarta.

Tech

Lately, I’ve been experimenting with:

• Astro - moving away from Hugo
• Python - mostly for building automation tools and utilities
• Streamlit - building lightweight internal dashboards
• Flask - building simple, useful websites

Reading

I don’t read as much as I’d like, but I keep a few articles bookmarked for when I need a break from screens or spreadsheets. Most are about simplicity, habits, or creative workflows.

Music

I listen to a lot of Radiohead and I’ve learned many of their songs on guitar and piano. Lately, I’ve also been listening to Imagine Dragons and Taylor Swift with my lovely wife. And every morning, my commute starts with Parachutes by Coldplay in my ears.

These are the albums I listen to the most:

Podcast

Most of the time, it’s about minimalism, though I usually prefer watching it on YouTube. Sometimes in life, you’re stuck waiting in a long queue or for the train to arrive. I’d rather listen to this than fall into doomscrolling, honestly.
