I look after the part of IT that is not allowed to fail: servers, networks, databases
and statutory reporting. At Perumda Air Minum Kolaka Utara, a regional
water utility, I run the operational systems and network. At
Universitas Muhammadiyah Kolaka Utara I administer the academic information
system and own the institution's submissions to four national platforms: PDDikti, SISTER,
SINTA and KIP Kuliah. These are the Indonesian government's higher-education data systems,
where records must reconcile exactly and deadlines are fixed by the ministry.
Over the last few years I have moved deliberately toward
computer vision and deep learning. My thesis compares several CNN backbone
architectures for a face-recognition attendance system: I collected the dataset myself under
real lighting conditions, trained and benchmarked the models, and measured both accuracy and
inference time on the hardware actually available on site.
That combination is the reason I am worth talking to. I am not a researcher who stops at a
notebook, and not an administrator who is uncomfortable with code. I think about deployment,
database integration, access control and who maintains the thing in two years, because those
are already my job.
New technology is only useful if somebody can keep it running every day without drama.
