I'm often called 'J.O', an acronym of my middle and last name. I was born in Surabaya, Indonesia and spent most of my younger days there. Presently I'm in Singapore pursuing a graduate study at the Centre for Computational Intelligence, Nanyang Technological University. Feeling insufficient and lacking experiences, I always set high expectations and seek advancements. Discipline, modesty and perseverance are probably my good traits, but the melancholic, introvert and perfectionist sides of me might be rather unattractive. I nevertheless believe that passion and dilligence would allow me to steadily improve and achieve many great things.
