In person
I grew up in Surabaya, Indonesia, and now live in Perth, where I did a Bachelor of Biomedicine and a Master of Bioinformatics at UWA.
Somewhere between the anatomy labs and the immunology lectures I worked out that I preferred the computer side of biology. The masters made it official: dissertation on gene body methylation in Arabidopsis, a Spotlight paper in Trends in Genetics, and a Distinction at the end of it.
These days I split my time between three things: building BioNodulo, volunteering in Nikolay Shirokikh's RNA lab at ACRTC, and evaluating AI coding agents, reading their output and marking where they go wrong. In February 2027 I start my PhD on making bioinformatics pipelines catch their own mistakes.
Outside of work: karate (I was ranked ninth internationally, a while ago), comics and anime, training small AI models for fun, and a dog who has never once reviewed my code.
