👨‍💻 About Me & Experience

  • 🎓 Bachelor of Forestry, Universitas Kuningan — graduated August 12, GPA 3.88.
  • 🌲 Focusing on Forest & Mangrove Carbon Stock Mapping, Ecological Modeling, and Species Distribution Modeling (SDM) for conservation and sustainability.
  • 🛰️ Applying remote sensing (Sentinel-2, Landsat) and spectral analysis to quantify above-ground biomass (AGB) and support restoration prioritization.
  • 🛠️ Builds and maintains fully open-source geospatial workflows — QGIS, R, Python, and Google Earth Engine — instead of proprietary GIS software, including RasterViz, a QGIS plugin with 900+ users worldwide 🌐.
  • 📚 Educating a community of 5K+ followers on ecology, carbon, and open-source GIS via @49s.lab.

💼 Work Experience & Involvement:

  • 🌏 GIS & RS Analyst @ Redelong Institute, TFCA Program (current)
  • 🔬 GIS Assistant @ WWF Indonesia — Home-based, Aceh (current)
  • 🧪 Laboratory Assistant @ Universitas Kuningan (2025–2026)
  • 📡 GIS & RS Tutor @ Forum Pohon Langka Indonesia (2025)
  • 🌳 Social Forestry Facilitator @ BPSKL Sumatera, Ministry of Environment and Forestry (2024)

🌲 Forestry & Field Expertise

  • 🌳 Forestry Measurements: Biomass Parameter Measurement, Forest Inventory, Wildlife Inventory.
  • 📊 Vegetation & Biometrics: Forest Profile Construction, Vegetation Analysis, Forest Biometrics.
  • 🦌 Biodiversity Survey: Taman Nasional Gunung Ciremai (TNGC).
  • 🌊 Coastal Ecosystems: Mangrove Survey, Mangrove Identification.
