Myself, but University version.

 

Good day to you, Sir/Madam!

First, allow me to introduce myself.

My name is Moch. Nabil Farras Dhiya. You can call me Nabil or Farras. I was born on the 21th Century in Tasikmalaya to a happy family. My father's name is Dadan, and my mother's is Yulia. Both my father and mother are currently working as a civil server. As of today, my father is working in Pontianak. His workplace is temporary, because every 2-3 years he'll be placed in another city. While my mother is always working in Bandung to take care of me and my two brothers. My older brother is a student in an University on Bandung, while my little brother is an elementary student in Labschool. Now, all of us lived at Grand Pinus Regency Cluster Andes No. 10.

Ok, maybe that's enough about my family, now I'll focus about telling myself.

Ok, let's start again. My name is Farras. As I said before, I was born on the 21th Century. 2003, to be exact. I've just become an official college student of Bandung Institute of Technology  4 hours ago. Normally, now I should be a 3th grade student in Senior High School, but because I finished my Elementary study in 5 years, due to some circumstance, here I am. Now part of corona's generation of 2020. For your information, I studied in Labschool Elem. School for 5 years, 2 Bandung Junior High School for 3 years, and 3 Bandung Senior Highschool for also 3 years.

My hobbies aren't that much different from others, like reading a manga (Japanese comic), and doing some coding problems at edabit or writing some random syntax. On my free time, I simply farming exp on edabit while listening to some classical or anime song, watching some anime/data analysis video on youtube, or just staring at the air. But above all, I spend most of my time playing game with my friends. Even on my last holiday (April-Sept), I spent >10 hours/day playing games, the rest of the time, I spent it to pray, sleep, farm exp, and watch anime-marathon.

Since I was on elem. school, I've always loved Math-related subject, like Physics. On the contrary, I'v'e always hated on memory-related subject, like Biology and History. And some of my colleagues told me that I'm good at Math and Physics, and really suck at Biology and History. Like, seriously suck.

Until a year ago, my dream was to be an Astrophysics, Physicist, or some sort. But the more and more I dive into the world of Physics, the more I realized that Physics was hard af. So, I surfed on Google what kind of job is suited for me who love coding and mathematical analysis. And then, I found that this job

called "Data Scientist" and "Data Analyst". I got curious about these jobs, since these jobs are comparable with an Actuary in terms of demand on today's business. So, I learned that the task of a data scientist/analyst are more or less what I love and what I think I got talent on it. And fortunately, I was lucky enough to get accepted on one of the most prestigious university in Indonesia at Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences (FMIPA). And hopefully, I will get accepted to the Mathematical major on my second year so that I can hone my analytic skills for my future job.

To get there, I know it won't be an easy path. Since I know that many people with higher brain-spec than me also aim to enter the math major, in terms of academic-skill, of course I have to study hard to make sure that my GPA are higher than average, if not higher than most of the student from the same faculty. My GPA goal, is of course, higher than 3.75. I tend to aim higher so that when my score drops at one time, I can be motivated to fix the next scores so that the total GPA score can be at least 3.75.

To be a data scientist, and good person in general, there are other things that I know that must do:

1. Mastering 1-2 language(s) other than my mother language. Since the competition on the 21st century are scary af, English, is the least we have to master to survive the competition. But, my love for Japanese culture made me want to learn Japanese as well, and I aim to get the N4 certificate by the end of next year.

2. Have a good time-management, communication, and have lots of relation. I realized that to be a data scientist, a good analytics and programming skill aren't the only important thing. We also have to be a good speaker to deliver and visualize their data analysis. If the client can't understand our work, what's the point? Our job is to make sure they understand the business opportunity available for the company, based on the big amount of data the company has received. My aim is to muster those skills by joining some organization available on my 4 years in college so that when I graduated on 2024, my LinkedIn profile are full of skills and experiences,

3. Have a good physical body. Well, this has got no relation to be a data scientist, but I think that a person, regardless of who they are, what's their job, their age, and such, has to take make sure that their body are always in great condition. Being a data scientist whose jobs are analyzing data, make visualization, and presenting at an office, doesn't mean that they can neglect their body and have a skinny and pitiful shape.

My goal after I graduated from ITB is that I can get a scholarship so then I can get my master degree abroad (or in ITB). If I didn't find one, I hope I can get a job from a well-known company, and make a saving from my salary so that I can continue my study. By doing so, I hope that I can contribute to Indonesia by helping the companies in Indonesia to grow even further. Thus, Indonesia's economy condition can be fixed, and we're a step closer to our 2045 vision.

Farewell, eh.

Plastic Waste Crisis Around the Globe

[CHALLENGE D-2 OSKM 2020]

Di tengah pandemi COVID-19 ini, banyak sekali krisis-krisis lain yang terangkat, baik karena krisis tersebut baru saja muncul, maupun karena krisis tersebut diperparah dengan adanya pandemi ini. Salah satu krisis yang diperparah dengan adanya pandemi COVID-19 ini adalah krisis sampah plastik. 
Sejak dimulainya pandemi COVID-19, dilaporkan sudah terjadi peningkatan penggunaan sampah plastik sekali pakai, termasuk sampah medis. Di Singapura, misalnya, pada 1 Juni kemarin telah terjadi peningkatan limbah plastik sebesar 1,5ton hanya dari bekas kemasan paket dan makanan.

Krisis plastik adalah salah satu dari sekian banyak krisis yang sangat penting untuk kita sadari agar kemudian kita akhiri.
Mengapa saya katakan krisis plastik ini merupakan krisis yang sangat "urgent" untuk kita selesaikan?Saya akan coba menganalisis krisis ini dengan konsep VUCA.

Volatility:

Tidak termasuk, karena jika kita amati grafik tersebut, sebenarnya sejak akhir abad-20 hingga awal abad-21 sudah terlihat bahwa grafik jumlah sampah yang dihasilkan (warna hitam) naik secara eksponensial. Namun, perhatikan bahwa gap per tahun di sana cukup jauh, yakni per sepuluh tahun. Artinya, kenaikan jumlah sampah ini tidak terjadi secara tiba-tiba. Hal ini terjadi karena beberapa faktor, contohnya kurangnya kesadaran masyarakat.

Uncertainty:

Termasuk, karena dalam 10 tahun terakhir, sudah cukup banyak negara yang menerapkan kebijakan sanksi saat menggunakan plastik, dan beberapa lainnya melarang secara total. Akan tetapi, kita tidak tahu apakah kebijakan tersebut akan efektif atau tidak. Masa depan ga ada yang tau gais.

Complexity:

Termasuk, karena masalah plasik ini jika terus dibiarkan, akan menimbulkan krisis-krisis lain, misalnya:
1. kehidupan satwa laut akan terganggu. Dah tau kasus temuan bangkai paus isinya 5,9kg sampah plastik di Wakatobi;
2. saluran irigasi akan terhambat -> Banjir saat hujan deras -> "S3mu4 s4l4h p3m3r1nt4h".

Ambiguity:

Tidak termasuk, karena menurut saya krisis ini sebab dan akibatnya sudah jelas, tidak ada yang ambigu.

Terus gimana ? Kita harus apa ? 

Pusreng valoran sampai platinum tapi stuck di gold? 

Ga. Jelas kita harus melakukan sesuatu yang dapat mengurangi penggunaan plastik.

Contoh paling sederhana ya dengan bawa tupperware makan dan minum dari rumah, atau bawa totebag kalo kita belanja. Udah gitu doang. Sederhana tapi akan sangat berpengaruh.
