Who am I?
Hi there! My name is Erwin, a trilingual from the world’s fourth most populous country, Indonesia.
I spent some of my teenager and early young adult days in Singapore before returning to my hometown, Jakarta, late last year.
If you are interested in finding out the rationales behind my decision to come back home, please do check out my previous Medium articles below.
In the daytime, I work as a Software Engineer at Xfers, a YCombinator-Backed fintech startup that operates in Southeast Asia. I spend the remaining of my days managing the startup I co-founded, reading, and writing.
How it began
Nearly a decade ago, I started to inculcate the habit of reading in my daily life. Although my initial intention was to improve my essay-writing skills while I was still in secondary school.
Not long ago, I decided to start my journey as a fledgeling writer. I felt that the only way for me to remember what I have read is by sharing it with the people in my vicinity.
Finding Illumination
So, I chanced upon Illumination when I was browsing for Medium publications. I soon submitted a request to be one of the Illumination-Curated writers, and Dr Mehmet Yildiz kindly accepted my request.
I would also like to use this opportunity to personally thank Dr Mehmet for accepting my writer request. Thank you for giving someone who aspires to be a writer the chance to write for the Illumination community. Really do appreciate it!
Looking forward to growing together with the Illumination-Curated writers.
What I normally write
I write mostly about tech, startup, and productivity. Please do consider following my Medium account if you are interested in any of these areas.
Have a nice day!
