About Me

In my quiet moments, you’ll usually find me reading—self help, philosophy, and personal development books have always been my way of learning, reflecting, and growing. I also make time once or twice a week to play indoor soccer to stay active and healthy.

My passion for teaching began during my bachelor’s degree in Indonesia, where I worked as a computer programming tutor from 2002 to 2006. I’m grateful to have started my journey teaching foundational programming languages such as C and C++ using Borland C++ 3—skills and tools that are increasingly rare today.

Today, we live in a digital era where learning and teaching have shifted online. RMIT University has been a leader in this transformation, and I’m grateful to have been part of the RMIT Online teaching team since 2019. I’ve facilitated a range of courses, including:

  • UNIX System Administration and Programming
  • Web Programming (PHP)
  • Web Development Technologies (.NET C#)
  • Further Programming (JavaFX)
  • Programming 1 (Java)
  • Database Concept

Why I Teach

Everyone has their own purpose and source of fulfillment. Mine is simple: to contribute, to share knowledge, and to support those who are eager to learn. One day, if the opportunity arises, I hope to pursue a PhD—fingers crossed.
