From my hometown in Jakarta to my new home in Bristol, I help develop the Wagtail CMS ecosystem and introduce exciting new features that improve its capabilities and developer experience.

As a core team member and UI team lead of Wagtail, I brought your favourite features to life: supercharged snippets, live previews, autosave, and more. I also help new contributors on GitHub and through programs like Google Summer of Code.

I love open source and building software that's useful for anyone in any part of the world. Before joining Torchbox, I implemented Django's cross-database JSONField feature in 2019.

Since then, I've been involved in the Wagtail, Django, and the wider open source community. You might catch me at conferences like Wagtail Space, DjangoCon, and FOSDEM with my colleague, Thibaud.

Outside of work, I enjoy getting immersed in stories told in video games, films, shows, novels, comics, and music. One of my life goals is to create at least one piece of art for every medium to allow me to better appreciate the art I consume. You can learn more about me on my personal website.
