Writer.Community Builder.

Hi, I'm Haikal! I'm a writer and community builder based in Yogyakarta.

I've been writing online for the last decade. I'm the co-founder and editor of Journal Kita, Indonesia's largest Medium publication. Journal Kita has over 1,000 Indonesian writers writing in English, and has also run more than 25 offline writing events.

I currently write on Substack about personal reflections and social observations.

Beyond writing, my sidequests include working in tech, running marathons, organizing & MCing events, making podcasts, and more!
