about Me

WHAT I DO

I help organizations turn complex economic data into clear analysis, sound decisions, and compelling narratives. As an economist and data strategy advisor with over 18 years of experience across academia, corporate environments, and international public policy, my technical expertise covers applied econometrics, microsimulation, cost-benefit analysis, and machine learning, working natively in Python, Stata, and R across the full analytical pipeline.

My practice focuses on translating dense macro-financial and micro-level datasets into predictive models, strategic roadmaps, and regional integration frameworks, with deep institutional expertise in Southeast Asia and Indonesia. I regularly advise sovereign states, multilateral donors, and corporate entities on sustainable finance frameworks—including SDG bonds, blue bonds, and social housing allocations—while bringing this same empirical rigor to university-level lecturing and technical capacity-building masterclasses worldwide.

Economic Modelling, ML/DL for Economics, and Microsimulation

I convert dense, micro-level datasets into predictive algorithms, financial simulation models, and rigorous impact evaluations rooted in structural economic theory.

For example: (1) Deploying supervised machine learning and predictive data analytics pipelines to assess macroeconomic risks and uncover structural trends within massive firm-level datasets, (2) Designing computational tax-benefit microsimulation models to execute ex-ante policy testing and isolate the precise distributive impacts of fiscal adjustments on household welfare, and (3) Building quantitative econometric frameworks, cost-benefit analyses, and experimental or quasi-experimental approaches to simulate public expenditures and project long-term returns on investment.

Sustainable Finance, Climate Finance, and SDG Transitions

I advise sovereign states, international development partners, and corporate entities on environmental asset allocation, ESG compliance, and green capital market instruments aligned with SDG targets, translating complex data into credible public disclosures.

For example: (1) Formulating the framework design, allocation logic, and data tracking systems for national sustainability debt, including the recent Republic of Indonesia Sovereign SDG Bond and Blue Bond allocation and impact reports, (2) Developing economic strategies and data-driven financial roadmaps to support regional energy transitions (SDG 7) and climate mitigation actions (SDG 13), and (3) Designing clear sustainability reporting, corporate bond/sukuk allocation report, and evidence-based policy brief narratives that translate complex financial metrics into actionable insights for institutional stakeholders.
