Jakarta, Indonesia · linkedin.com/in/-kukuh

AI engineer with a full-stack background. I build and ship LLM products end to end: AI agents, RAG customer support, WhatsApp and Telegram assistants, payment integrations, and multi-tenant web apps, and I am comfortable operating the infrastructure they run on.

I like working close to the problem: taking a workflow, turning it into working software, and iterating with the people who use it. Comfortable across the stack, from UI to database to deployment.
