Download PDF ↓Computer Science master’s student (Data Science) with hands-on experience across machine learning, data warehousing, and business intelligence. My recent focus is AI reliability: LLM systems that verify their own answers and abstain when they cannot. Alongside the technical side, I’ve led a 30+ staff student organization serving 500+ members, secured corporate sponsorships, and run large campus programs. Author on two IEEE conference papers, first author on one. Comfortable owning work end to end, from modeling the data to presenting it to non-technical stakeholders.
Experience & Leadership
- Led a 30+ staff organization (500+ members) across six BINUS campus regions, overseeing 30+ initiatives through the year.
- Pitched and closed over IDR 100 million in corporate sponsorships (Paragon Corp, TikTok Shop, Tokopedia, and others).
- Grew Greater Jakarta recruitment registrants from 70 to 230 through rebranding, and raised the sign-up fee from IDR 75k to 175k (~IDR 40M in registration revenue).
- Launched an in-house talent agency connecting members to paid modelling and other job offers.
- Interviewed and selected ~200 Freshmen Leader / Partner candidates; coordinated administration and events with the Student Support Office.
- Directly mentored ~30 leaders, ensuring on-time completion of program deliverables and reports.
- Collaborated with cross-functional teams to develop and implement system enhancements.
- Delivered multiple SQL-based projects and provided user troubleshooting and support.
Education
- Coursework: Business Intelligence & Analytics, Deep Learning, Advanced NLP, Data Warehousing.
- Thesis (in progress, unpublished): a late-fusion transformer framework (IndoBERT, XLM-RoBERTa) with psycholinguistic features to detect workplace stress in Indonesian text.
- Awarded KRW 200,000 for a self-written cultural-exchange grant proposal (Jeju cultural exploration).
- Featured in the BINUS International Office testimonials.
Selected Projects
- End-to-end analytics on the Olist e-commerce dataset: a dimensional warehouse, a review-risk model, and a natural-language agent that verifies its own answers (tagging each trusted / repaired / abstained).
- Evaluated on 150 golden questions × 5 models × 3 runs with exact McNemar tests: verification cut confidently-wrong answers by up to 69% (21.8% → 6.7%, p = 1.7e-15); review-risk model reached 0.756 ROC-AUC, flagging the riskiest 10% of orders to catch 41% of all bad reviews. Live demo.
- Designed a star-schema dimensional model over the Olist dataset and built an ETL pipeline into BigQuery following Kimball methodology.
- Delivered an interactive Looker Studio dashboard tracking sales, delivery-performance, and customer-satisfaction KPIs for non-technical stakeholders; documented metric definitions and data lineage for governance.
- Fine-tuned and benchmarked BERT, RoBERTa, and DistilBERT for binary stress detection on the Reddit subset of the IJCNN 2022 benchmark (“Stress Detection from Social Media Articles”, IEEE WCCI 2022); RoBERTa reached 97.2% accuracy and 0.997 ROC-AUC.
- Vetted the dataset before training and excluded its “non-advertisement” Twitter split, which still contained heavy advertising noise.
- Assessed accuracy-vs-efficiency trade-offs (DistilBERT ~2× faster inference) via macro / weighted F1, per-class metrics, and confusion matrices to guide deployment.
- Built and compared three CNN architectures (VGG-19, InceptionV3, ResNet50) with ImageNet transfer learning on CelebA; InceptionV3 led at ~91.5% accuracy.
- Built an end-to-end classical ML pipeline (TF-IDF features, SMOTE, hyperparameter tuning) comparing seven models on a severely imbalanced ~60k-sample Indonesian dataset.
