Software Engineer / AI & ML
About
I'm Arya, a software engineer based in Indonesia. Most of my work sits where machine learning meets ordinary product engineering — LLM pipelines, retrieval, and NLP systems that have to survive real inputs.
Some of that started as research. I was first author on a study, funded by the Indonesian Ministry of Higher Education, that scrapes app store reviews, tweets, and news into structured user stories and use case diagrams for requirement elicitation. It ran in JISEBI in 2026.
Outside that, I build web and mobile applications, run a small home server on hardware that was headed for a drawer, and write about both.
This site keeps three kinds of writing apart: Projects are things I shipped, Build Notes explain how something was approached, and the Readingis everything that isn't about code.
