Hi, I'm Risma!

An aspiring data scientist who loves turning messy data into clear insights and practical solutions.

My journey began in Geophysics, where I first discovered the power of working with data during internships at the Indonesian Agency for Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics (BMKG).

I worked with large geospatial and seismic datasets; processing, analysing, and visualising information to better understand natural hazards. From mapping landslide vulnerability zones with ArcGIS to interpreting earthquake wave patterns, these experiences sharpened my analytical skills and sparked my passion for data-driven problem solving.

Since then, I’ve built on that foundation with modern tools like Python, SQL, Tableau, and machine learning. Whether it’s exploring, cleaning, or modelling datasets, I enjoy combining technical skills with clear communication to create insights that drive meaningful impact.

Looking back, every step of my journey has been leading me towards what I enjoy most: uncovering patterns, solving problems, and building smart solutions with data science.
