I am a Canadian who studied Indonesian literature in Yogyakarta, Indonesia, from 2008 through 2019. I became a Wikipedian on 20 June 2005. I started by making minor adjustments such as fixing typos and adding comments to the discussion pages of articles where I found things contrary to my understanding of Wiki-policy. Now I do a lot of work in page creation, especially articles related to Indonesia. I also participate in numerous places around Wikipedia, including AFD, FP, FA, FL, and GA.

On 26 October 2012 I became the seventh Wikipedian to earn a Steeplechase award, with five pieces of featured content (all related to Indonesia). On 1 December of the same year, an article I wrote, Frank's Cock, became what may be the first article to run in DYK after having reached featured article status. I am also current champion of the competition for the shortest DYK hook: ... ?. See screenshot below:

I was mostly retired between 2018 and 2023. Since returning to editing, I have focused less on Indonesia topics; most articles have been related to republican China. I've also begun contributing photographs of concerts and of dragshows. Those contain some of my favourites; I wish I were able to bring proper kit into venues!

I was born in Windsor, Ontario, Canada on 15 March 1989. I graduated from J. L. Forster Secondary School in 2006. After graduation, I was one of the Rotary Youth Exchange students from the Windsor district (6400 at the time). I hold a bachelor's degree in Indonesian literature from Sanata Dharma University (doing my undergraduate thesis on Sindhunata's Putri Cina) and an M.A. from Gadjah Mada University (with my thesis on the adaptation of novels to films in the Dutch East Indies). I completed four years of a doctorate program, again at Gadjah Mada. I am now living in Canada, where I work for the government.
