About

I am an ML engineer with hands-on experience building and deploying end-to-end LLM pipelines — RAG, SFT, and CPT — for production use in government intelligence workflows. Most recently I led a four-person AI team delivering a legal document intelligence system for Komdigi (Indonesia's Ministry of Communication and Digital Affairs), serving structured daily briefs to ministry officials. I work across the full ML lifecycle: data collection, model training, API orchestration, and cloud deployment.
