About

I am a cybersecurity consultant in Jakarta. For more than a decade I have helped telecoms, government and enterprises across Southeast Asia and Japan protect what they build. I began as a developer. I know what a control costs the team that has to follow it, so I design security that teams can actually keep.

What I have learned

Security fails quietly. Not in the breach, but months earlier, when a rule was too slow to follow and someone found a way around it. So the work is not to add gates. It is to make the safe way the easy way, and to prove with numbers that it is working.
