About

Hi, I am Tama!

I am currently an IT Consultant specializing in Business Intelligence—which means, yes, I develop a lot of reports and dashboards, mainly with Power BI. I say “currently” because I’ve never liked letting a job title completely define who I am. In fact, if you ask me what I do on a daily basis, I might joke that I’m a “Meeting Engineer.” Since I spend 70% of my time listening in meetings, it feels pretty accurate!

But jokes aside, if you really insist on knowing what I do: I specialize in translating complex business needs into functional, technical solutions. I act as the bridge between different worlds. I don't just look at the data or the system; I look at how people actually use it.

Throughout my career, I have always acted as this critical bridge between business stakeholders and technical execution. Recently, during a major SAP S/4HANA migration project, I initially thought my job would just be creating dashboards. I quickly realized my role wasn't just about developing dashboard—it was about sitting down with business users, mapping complex fields, negotiating alternatives with IBM consultants, and designing the tools that would drive their daily decisions. I guided the process from initial requirements through UAT, hypercare, and final rollout. It was a tough project, starting in the SSEA business unit before moving to the Indonesian unit, which involved deploying numerous SAP modules and cross-workstream reporting.

I am very used to wearing multiple hats and taking ownership of end-to-end solutions. In a previous role overseeing factory operations, my mandate was to lead digitalization on the factory floor. I essentially operated as a one-man special task force. I maintained existing systems, rolled out new operational applications, and developed dozens of Power BI dashboards that directly supported cross-departmental operations. I know exactly what it takes to make systems work on the factory floor, not just on paper. Dealing with people is very different than dealing with machines, but once you figure out the human element, everything else gets easier. (Well, maybe not easy, but definitely manageable!)

Whether I am writing SQL to extract specific insights, collaborating with Data Engineering teams to resolve model defects, or building a new system from scratch, my goal is always the same: delivering actionable systems that make business operations smoother and drive real value.

But enough about work! I strongly believe you work to live, not live to work. When I am off the clock, I spend a lot of my time organizing tech community events. I am also a huge enthusiast of mechanical watches (you might find some Easter eggs about that on this site!). I am also an avid analog film photographer, a hobby I picked up in college, took a break from, and returned to recently. And if I’m not doing any of that, I’m probably just at home reading books or catching up on online comics.

Nice to meet you, and welcome to my site!
