About
I'm Ilham. I'm based in Indonesia.

When I was a kid, I used to spend hours reading books about the Seven Wonders of the World and playing games on our old computer.
I remember wondering what my life would look like when I grew up.
Maybe I’d work with computers somehow. Maybe I’d travel around the world. And somewhere in the back of my mind was this very childish question: would I ever actually get to see all those places I was reading about?
For a long time, I didn’t realize I was already slowly becoming that person.
Growing up, I moved around Indonesia quite a bit. I spent about three years in Sukabumi, another three around Sidoarjo and Surabaya, and eventually moved to Depok, where I spent four years studying and trying to become what I used to simply call “an IT guy.”

Each place gave me a slightly different life.
Different friends, different environments, different versions of myself.
And because I kept moving, I think I also became curious about what else was out there.
I explored different things in tech before eventually finding my way into product design. At the same time, that childhood curiosity about the world never really disappeared.
So I started travelling.

At first, just a little. Then farther. Then for longer.
Somewhere along the way, I realized something funny: the life I used to imagine while staring at those books and that old computer had quietly become my actual life.
Today, I work in tech and spend part of my year living and working from different places around the world.

A part-time digital nomad, I guess.
There are still plenty of places I haven’t seen, things I haven’t figured out, and versions of myself I haven’t met yet.
But sometimes I think about that kid wondering whether he would ever get to see the world.
And I think he’d be pretty excited about where we ended up.
