About me

I train models, ship web apps, and lead the teams around them.

I'm an Information Engineering student at UGM working at the seam between machine learning and the web — fine-tuning vision-language models one week, shipping a production Next.js app the next.

My focus is rigorous, honest ML: evaluating models with strong judges rather than trusting naive ground truth, and mitigating bias before it reaches users. Off the keyboard, I lead sponsorship and tech teams across student organizations.
