Human civilization keeps elevating and improving, the one of the reasons is because we, as humans, always inherit our vision to the next generation. Our ancestors are always telling stories, and believers after them see those stories as goals that drive them to run the world.

The Heir

Basically, the teller and the believer are sharing the same vision about the world. Usually, it is a solution for a problem, so the next generation is inheriting visions from their predecessors. And here I am, as one of the heirs.
My name is Maulana Hafidz Ismail, a young man that is trying to contribute solutions to the real-world problems, even though starting from the closest circles such as family and colleagues. I learn and prepare for my professional journey, conduct research and experiments to gain experience, and write to document the processes.
Engineer and entrepreneur are identities that I feel could work properly for pursuing my goal, using the logical and solution-oriented mindset of an engineer and the ability to face uncertainty and leverage coming opportunities as an entrepreneur, I will try my best to bring everyone’s life getting easier.

What drives me to take the steps

Living in the social media era makes me see a lot of problems that people are facing. It leads me to many questions, drives me to take a step, and encourages me to help others. My childhood is saturated with tech movies such as Iron Man, which makes me have Tony Stark as my role model.
Therefore, my interest is focused on technology. I see that technology could establish more robust and reliable systems to support human civilization, to have a better country and a better world, and to be responsible for our living in this beautiful world.

1. The step I believe

Currently, pushing myself to keep studying, researching, experimenting, and writing is my step to chase the identities I need and to keep connected with the tech world, where everything is updating so fast.
Of course, it's not an easy step. I have faced hard times, mentally and physically, but my inner voice doesn't tell me to stop. It keeps pushing me back to my work desk, even when I am frustrated about a topic.

2. Personal website as the place

This personal website takes the role as my showroom to show my work and experience so others can discuss them, either to learn or to criticize, and a magazine wall to publish useful insights and documentation, again for others to learn or criticize.

The Vision

I see a tomorrow where clarity and reliability of systems could address our problems. It serves like an ecosystem that gives us a life more secure from uncertainty. Think of the ark that carried Noah and his people, weathering great waves and remaining steadfast, so that everyone could feel secure by placing their hope in it. It is a form of help from God so that humanity can continue its civilization.
