Since my early university days, I've been drawn to player statistics and match dynamics, laying the groundwork for guiding PS Barito Putera through crucial decision-making processes. My journey in football analysis has been defined by resilience and a relentless pursuit of excellence. I am particularly interested in Football AI, Automated tracking data (GPS System), and AI Camera System, areas where I aim to innovate and contribute significantly.

Proudly holding the highest UEFA B license in Indonesia and pursuing it has been crucial in my journey, offering valuable insights into European football methods. Transitioning to a European League isn't just a personal milestone but a chance for professional growth and contribution. I am multicultural and adaptable.

Indonesian football faces palpable challenges, with a history of unmet potential and systemic issues. Despite our rich talent, progress is hampered by limited infrastructure and resources. I believe grassroots development is key to unlocking progress. Yet, within these challenges lies my true calling – to bridge gaps, pave the way, nurture excellence, and ignite transformative change for a brighter future.

Under Coach Rahmad Darmawan's guidance, I've learned how holistic mentorship can transform players. His focus on psychology and mentality in player development has shaped my coaching style. I'm deeply committed to understanding the mental side of the game and bringing innovation to football. Ready to tackle challenges, I aim to contribute to football locally and globally. It's not just a job; it's my calling – a commitment to unlocking Indonesian football's potential and leaving a lasting impact.
