My opinions in this blog is at the intersection between public policy, law, politics and other social occurrences in Indonesia and other global current affairs. I am currently researching on access to water in Jakarta and land acquisition for infrastructure projects in Indonesia. My other topics of interest would be on democracy, political Islam and climate change policies (i.e. CDM, REDD+ and adaptation).

I graduated from Faculty of Law, University of Indonesia in 2008. I’ve done mostly research work starting from Center for Electoral Reform (CETRO) and Indonesian Center for Environmental Law (ICEL). Before I worked for Deutsche Gesellschaft für Internationale Zusammenarbeit (GIZ), I interned in Hadiputranto, Hadinoto and Partners, a law firm in Jakarta. Currently I am a graduate student at the Lee Kuan Yew School of Public Policy, National University of Singapore.

My articles here do not reflect the position of any of my employers as they are my own personal opinions.

In my spare time, I like to travel and do photography.
