About
I work at the seam between hardware and software: ROS navigation stacks, vision models quantized for a Raspberry Pi, CAD for the parts that hold them together. Most of my projects start as a physical problem, like picking a strawberry or docking a robot, and end as a system that has been calibrated, tested, and made to work in the real world.
Alongside engineering I have led student organisations, taught lab courses, and run esports tournaments for eighty-plus teams. I speak Indonesian, English, and enough Japanese and Mandarin to get by.

Writing
All posts →From KARASU to HAYABUSA: two KRTI drones
What AeroBASE's first competition drone taught us, and how the second one's stack, simulation and detector changed because of it.
Machine Learning for Agricultural Automation
How PLANTESA's leaf-disease classifier went from chance to 89.5%, and what a Raspberry Pi and an ESP32 forced out of the design.
Building Embedded Systems with Arduino
What the fish feeder taught me about blocking code, sensors that lie, and testing one part at a time.
