// about.md — the full story

The longer version.

Full Stack AI Engineer building production-grade AI applications across frontend, backend and AI systems. Hands-on with LLM integration, Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, embeddings, vector search, conversational AI and computer vision, on a stack of Python, FastAPI, Flask and REST APIs with React.js, React Native and TypeScript on top. Strengths in scalable AI application development, API architecture, inference cost optimisation and cross-functional delivery with product and business teams.

// journey

I started in 2023 as a frontend developer, building responsive React and React Native applications and cutting page load time by 25%. In 2025 I moved into full stack AI engineering at PT Indonesia Satu Tujuh — production RAG pipelines with embeddings and vector retrieval, conversational voice AI, and computer vision systems — while freelancing on AI projects for PT Pasar AI since late 2024. Along the way I re-architected an AI inference pipeline and cut its infrastructure cost by 75%. Before any of that I spent two years as a laboratory and practicum assistant at Telkom University, teaching object-oriented programming and system design while finishing a degree in Information Systems.

// how_i_work

+Ship production-ready, not demo-ready — latency, cost and failure modes are part of the feature.
+Measure retrieval before blaming the model; most RAG problems are retrieval problems.
+Care how an AI feature feels to use as much as how well it scores.
+Own the whole path — interface, API, orchestration, deployment.

// tl;dr

Full Stack AI Engineer, based in Jakarta.

I build production-grade AI applications end to end — from React interfaces down to FastAPI services and the LLM orchestration underneath. My work covers Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines, conversational voice AI, computer vision and recommendation systems, and the part I care about most is the unglamorous half: retrieval quality, latency, cost and reliability once real users arrive.

Before specialising in AI I spent two years as a frontend developer building React and React Native interfaces at scale. That background is why I own the whole path — an AI feature has to feel fast and trustworthy to use, not just score well offline.
