Welcome to my personal playground, where technology meets creativity. A collection of things I've built, experiments I've tried, and problems I've figured out.
Turning a flat shape or a few lines into a solid panel takes several manual steps, and the result can end up merged with the geometry around it.
Approach
Select a flat shape or some lines, give a thickness, and get a separate solid group. A face, or a group or component whose faces all lie in one plane, becomes a panel of the thickness you choose. Connected lines, open or closed, straight or arcs, are given a thickness and pulled to the length you choose. Holes are filled, because a flat shape uses its outer outline only. Sharp bends stay sharp, and only real curves are smoothed. Each selected shape or chain of lines gets its own group, next to the original.
Output
Free. Made and used on SketchUp 2026 for macOS, and not yet tested on Windows or older SketchUp versions. In SketchUp: Extensions › Extension Manager › Install Extension… and choose the .rbz. Run it from Extensions › Solid Panel…, the toolbar button, or the right-click menu. Your original stays where it is unless you choose to remove it, and one Undo takes the panel away.

The Early Years
My journey began with curiosity and experimentation in design, technology, and programming. These early explorations marked the beginning of my interest in both creative and technical work.
I build things, break things, figure out why they broke, and occasionally share what I've learned.
Left to right: me and my mother — building a chuck glider at LT V Pramuka — the school magazine team — the .com bubble era.
I've spent much of my career on problems that look impossible at first. The useful move is to make the problem smaller: challenge the assumption, map what I actually have, and turn one mission into pieces I can solve.
The process
It often starts with a day or two of quiet thinking and a piece of paper covered in messy mind maps. I move things around, split them apart, and keep questioning them. The first map is rarely the final one. A shape shows up when the pieces finally sit still.
Before AI
I started on computers long before today's tools: BASICA in the MS-DOS era, then Pascal and Turbo Prolog. The interest was how a system thinks, not only how to write the program. Critical thinking is still the foundation. AI hasn't taught me how to solve problems. It has made it possible to prototype, test, and build much faster.
This site
A personal playground: part archive, part workshop, part collection of experiments. Projects, tools, freeware, things that worked, things that didn't, and the lessons along the way. Some of it is polished. Some of it is still a work in progress. That's the point.
Network operations
Head of NOC at PT Meganusa Lintas Buana. Operations, reliability, and infrastructure, and problems where real systems and real people depend on the outcome.
Technical leadership
Technical Director at Crea. Large-scale web and learning platforms, including ASEAN-related digital work. The job was turning broad, demanding requirements into systems a team could actually deliver.
Digital publishing
CTO at ZettaMedia. A portfolio of news portals and the cloud infrastructure under them, balancing technical decisions with what a normal operating day actually needs.
Creative operations
Director at INOVACE / TANCORP. An internal creative agency and a multidisciplinary team, connecting design, production, and technical execution.
Design and automation
At Avian Brands: design operations, packaging, brand experiences, factory communication, workflow automation, and tools that help creative teams spend less time on repetitive work.
Independent
E-ink publishing, interactive reading, browser tools, small games, creative software, and automation. Most of them begin with “What if…?”
