With over a decade of experience covering the intersection of business, technology, and the environment in Southeast Asia, I bring analytical depth, narrative insight, and regional expertise to a wide range of projects.

I’ve advised and collaborated on white papers, handbooks, and bespoke research deep dives for organizations seeking to better understand emerging markets, industries, and policies. My background in journalism allows me to distill complexity into clarity—connecting trends across economics, investments, technology, and governance.

Fluent in English, Indonesian, and German, I work comfortably across cultural and professional contexts.

Beyond editorial and research consulting, I’m also open to creative collaborations from script development for film and TV, and other forms storytelling that explore real-world systems and Southeast Asia’s place within them.

If you’re looking for a partner who combines sharp analytical skills with a storyteller’s eye for connection and context, I’d love to hear from you.

Transparency

I do my best to avoid any conflicts of interest. I always clearly state the purpose of my interactions with interview partners and how the material we discuss will be used. Another rule of thumb is that I don’t work for companies I write about.
