Hi folks! I’m Maru, and I’m juggling two job titles right now.
I’m a Data Analyst and Data Engineer at one of the leading telecommunications companies here in Manila.
Using big data, I create visual insights and report analytics. I do love analytics because you can use it in pretty much any industry.
Maru’s desk setup embodies minimalism in its moderate, balanced form
I hold an engineering degree, but only recently I’ve discovered a true passion for technology and automation.
The whole thing really kicked off for me when I started working in the tech industry.
And when I got a job in business intelligence, I learned a lot about automating processes (for example, creating automated reports) and optimising back-end data production.
Maru’s minimalist home office is mostly dominated by blue and grey hues
Other than my career aspirations, I’m into minimalism (not the extreme one though, hehe). I’m a huge fan of Fumio Sasaki and Marie Kondo.
In my area of expertise, we minimise waste to increase output and optimise systems for the best efficiency.
It’s the same with minimalism.
You get rid of things that don’t add value and keep those that matter the most to you.
You just have to apply this approach to yourself personally.
While I was in college, I saw a lot of cool setups costing thousands of dollars.
After I graduated and started my career, the working/gaming space was the first thing I wanted to create at home.
I started saving up.
I knew that one day, I wanted to own a powerful battlestation to keep me going.
Until the pandemic started, the room I set up my desk in was a closet/storage room/guest room. When the lockdown happened, we were allowed to work from home.
At that time, I started making baby steps toward setting up the designated home office. The one where I can focus on work tasks and relax comfortably.
