Hi, I'm David.
Bookworm, traveler, technophile. Also an INFJ-T and proud Ravenclaw 🦅
I'm drawn to understanding how things work. My path has taken me through visual design to mathematical patterns to human behavior. Each shaped how I approach problems today.
If you're curious about the journey, here's how it unfolded.
I spent a decade in scouting throughout elementary and high school. It developed my leadership skills while teaching me to appreciate nature and diversity. Scouting taught me teamwork, adaptability, and the joy of exploring new frontiers. This experience ignited my passion for travel and cultural exchange, showing me how to see the world through different perspectives.
My journey into graphic design started as a hobby with my old computer. Playing with design software out of curiosity opened up a world of visual thinking. I learned how to communicate complex ideas without words, grab attention in an overwhelming information landscape, and guide someone's eyes to what matters.
This taught me that communication goes beyond words. It's about simplifying ideas, finding the core message, and presenting it in a way that resonates instantly.
During my undergrad at Universitas Padjadjaran, computational physics taught me to recognize patterns in chaos, model complex systems, and predict outcomes with mathematical precision. When physical experiments prove impractical, computational models become digital laboratories where we test theories and push boundaries.
This work developed my ability to think analytically, breaking down massive, seemingly unsolvable problems into manageable pieces and seeing connections where others see only complexity.
Over the years, I worked across diverse industries: social media, sports management apps, e-commerce, etc., building customer-facing digital products from the ground up. The work involved orchestrating diverse talents to create something new while understanding user needs, balancing business goals, navigating technical constraints, and guiding teams through uncertainty.
This role taught me to see both the big picture and the details, making data-driven decisions while staying connected to the human element of product development.
There's no right way to build a life. These experiences might seem random, but the connections emerge when you follow what genuinely interests you.
Solo travel has become my way of exploring the world and myself. I capture moments along the way, documenting the places I've been and the perspectives I've gained. You can see some of my photos on Instagram.
Fiction has always been my escape and inspiration. From exploring distant worlds to questioning what it means to be human, these stories shape how I think about innovation and possibility. Check out what I'm reading on Goodreads.
