Randi Ritvaldi, a former hardware programmer of Gathotkaca (the payload team), shared his work experience with Gadjah Mada Aerospace Team. After a year of teamwork, he became a team leader at GMAT in 2014-2015. Initially, Randi joined the GMAT to fill his spare time, apply his knowledge in real life, and be inspired by the previous year’s GMAT accomplishments. The following year, he was even more motivated to bring the GMAT to the top.

He told about the fellowship in the team, after he came home from college, he often stayed in the workshop and almost every day gathered to prepare for the competition, college assignments were also done together. That’s the secret to compact GMAT.

He always hopes for the best for GMAT, remains enthusiastic in work because there are a lot of aerospace contests in the field of rockets. Maximize experiences and lessons while on the GMAT team. Sometimes friendship, networking between members and graduates, and learning can be far more valuable than competitions and championship titles. In addition to focusing on competitions, GMAT should initiate research so that results can be included in national and international conferences.
