Born and raised all over Indonesia. With the last 15 years spent in Bali.

Started a Yayasan (chairty) called @ragamfoundation in 2021 to give back to the country I call home.

Ragam means diversity and this reflects in the people we help, the people who help us and the programs we run. Run this Charity with my lovely wife Dhini.

Which is why I think the CS community is such a perfect fit. Considering the diversity that exists here.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

To talk and listen. Sharing stories is one of the best things we can do 🙏

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

These are best expressed and shared in person where unnecessary hand movements and imitations can be used.

Although No. 1 would probably be,
