"Responding to change over following a plan” is a phrase that feels quite uncommon to me. It’s one of the Scrum manifesto that describes a certain mindset. I just learned about this concept when I pursuing my master’s degree in Information Technology. As I’m writing this, I’m currently in my second semester, and along this journey I’ve started to gain some new perspectives.

This program has really taught me to see technology from a wider angle. It’s not only about coding, compiling, testing, or debugging. There are many aspects beyond the technical work. Things like what the business actually needs, what determines whether a system succeeds or fails, and how people work together to build it. It also raises questions about who should (or should not) be responsible for a project investment, and why the project is even worth building in the first place.

A while ago, I read a book called Range: Why Generalists Triumph in a Specialized World. I still can’t really say whether I’m more of a generalist or a specialist. But one thing I can say for sure is that I’m not focus too much on sharpening a single specialization and also not spreading myself too widely across everything. The more I learn, the more I realize how small my domain actually is compared to what I learnt. What I had planned before now feels a bit different as my perspective keeps evolving.

At the end of the day, though, this journey feels good. I enjoy the learning phase, the frameworks, the rush of deadlines, and the moments when theory connects with real-world ideas and papers. Maybe it’s okay to adapt to situations rather than strictly follow a plan. After all, as the Scrum manifesto says: responding to change over following a plan.

As someone who doesn’t like to stay long at an event, what I usually do is head home quickly. But once I’m back, I often find myself thinking about how the event went. This is easy when the event just happened, but what if it took place 10 years ago?

That’s why I need a camera, because something good should never be forgotten.

One year after graduating from university, I found myself becoming lazier than before. I realized i needed to clear goals for myself. So, here is the result of one of those goals : Build a New Personal Website.

This website is built using Next.Js for the front-end and Strapi as the content management tool. I used a template created by Dillion Verma, you can check out here (https://github.com/dillionverma/portfolio). It is an awesome template and suits my style.
