LLM Engineer · Komdigi AI Talent Factory

ArkanantaMasarief

Informatics Engineering at ITS Surabaya. I build applied AI systems — fine-tuning pipelines, content-moderation models — and the backends that keep them standing in production.

Open to workSurabaya, Indonesia

I work at the seam between models and systems — the part where a promising notebook has to become something that survives real traffic, real data, and real people.

Currently an LLM Engineer at Komdigi’s AI Talent Factory, building fine-tuning pipelines and content-moderation frameworks, and a Backend Developer at Flexoo Software House.

Informatics Engineering at Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember, Surabaya — GPA 3.88. Previously science track at SMA Pradita Dirgantara.

Most of what I build has an accessibility or public-interest angle: an ADHD-adaptive tutor, content safety for children, forensics tooling that other researchers can actually install.

Selected work

Vika AI

Real-time multi-modal AI tutor and voice agent

An adaptive learning platform for students with ADHD that teaches to the VARK learning styles — visual, auditory, read/write — instead of forcing one mode on everyone.

  • Built the Node.js, Express and MongoDB backend, and the API layer joining frontend, AI models and database.
  • Orchestrated real-time sessions that sync Gemini 2.5 Flash verbal responses with live canvas visualisation commands.
  • Shipped a live conversation engine on Google Cloud STT/TTS with custom voice-agent logic and an automated ADHD assessment flow.

SNBP Admission Prediction

Classification under severe class imbalance

Predicting outcomes in Indonesia's achievement-based university admission track. The real problem was not the model — it was a 90.9% class imbalance that made naive accuracy meaningless.

  • Engineered an indeks prestasi feature combining academic and non-academic achievement into one signal.
  • Demonstrated SMOTE oversampling materially outperformed random undersampling at recovering the minority class.
  • Compared LightGBM, XGBoost and Random Forest, then tuned the leader with Optuna.

Best configuration — LightGBM + logistic regression, soft voting — reached 0.735 accuracy at 0.576 ROC AUC. Honest numbers: the imbalance limits how far this data goes.

Forensic Timeline

DFIR tooling, from notebooks to distribution

Three digital-forensics research tools existed as loose scripts and notebooks. I turned them into installable, documented, continuously-tested Python packages.

  • Refactored flat scripts and notebooks into modular packages managed through pyproject.toml.
  • Built GitHub Actions workflows for matrix CI and automated release to PyPI on tag.
  • Automated documentation builds via Read the Docs, and secured publishing with PyPI Trusted Publishers (OIDC) instead of long-lived tokens.
