About

Finance professional turned data analyst — the full story.

I spent over a decade in finance and project accounting in Indonesia — starting as a Project Accountant and eventually leading financial oversight across multiple construction sites. Along the way, I saw firsthand how much a single unreliable number can cost: a delayed decision, a missed budget, a project review that goes sideways. That’s what drove me to go back to school.

I’m now finishing my MSc in Data Analytics for Business at KEDGE Business School in Bordeaux, building the technical skills — SQL, Python, Power BI, machine learning — to do the work I always wanted to do but couldn’t: turn raw financial data into something a business can actually act on. The numbers I care about are the ones that prevent a bad decision, not just summarise it.

Most recently I completed a Business Intelligence Analyst internship at Amplitude Laser Group in France, where I built Looker Studio dashboards and optimised BigQuery pipelines for an after-sales team that was still running everything on spreadsheets. I work in English daily, still building my French, and Indonesian at home.
