tl;dr
I’m a healthtech CTO, researcher, and indie builder passionate about small
tools that solve boring problems.
Experience
I have been working as a CTO at Trustmedis since 2019, a company that
transitioned from a software house to a healthtech provider specializing
in health information systems for healthcare providers. We have been
partnering with government entities and big companies to develop digital health technology. My primary role has been to transition
our project-based system into SaaS products, which now serve millions of patients
nationwide.
Education
I hold a Master’s degree in Informatics from ITS Surabaya, Indonesia, with
a specialization in natural language processing. As part of my thesis, I
developed the first Biomedical Named Entity Recognition (BioNER) model in Bahasa Indonesia, designed to identify biomedical entities in free-text
data. I’ve also conducted research in other areas, including the Internet of
Underwater Things and network security.
I wrangled Jupyter Notebook daily to explore Transformer architectures,
building on top of libraries like FlairNLP and Transformers, including
scratch implementations in PyTorch.
Automation
I believe that humans should be the boss of machines.
I build tools under the name Automagic Systems: a personal lab focused on automation of boring tasks. My first product,
Zenfin, is a WhatsApp-based personal
finance tracker that turns casual chats and receipts into clean financial
insights using LLMs. Automagic explores ideas at the intersection of
natural language, small tools, and everyday workflows.
Community
Beyond my work, I’ve been actively involved in civic and academic
communities. I contributed to KawalCovid19, a grassroots initiative supporting transparent and responsible
information dissemination during the COVID-19 pandemic, and
evoina.org, an organization advocating
for scientific research and evolutionary biology in Indonesia.
I also occasionally teach as a guest lecturer, teaching Database Design
and Health Informatics, where I share industry practices and
research-backed insights to help students build practical, scalable
systems in the healthcare domain.
