I combine deep business process knowledge, data, and AI — especially Claude — to transform how work gets done: from manual and slow, to automated and data-driven. At work, in business, everywhere.

Understand the process. Understand the data.
Let AI handle the execution.

18 years at PT Semen Padang taught me something no tutorial ever could: how large organizations actually work — from the factory floor to executive boardrooms, from OHS compliance to performance evaluation.

That understanding became my greatest weapon when AI arrived. I didn't learn AI to experiment — I immediately knew where the bottlenecks were, which processes could be automated, and which data should become dashboards — then I used Claude and other AI tools to make it happen. The result: internal apps built in days, not months. Semi-automated content systems for e-commerce. Consistently produced book summaries.

My belief is simple: the most powerful person isn't the best coder, but the one who truly understands the problem and knows how to leverage AI to solve it. That's what I do every day — at work, in business, and in every project I touch.

02 — Journey

From the field → data → AI. Each phase strengthens the last.

2022 — Present

Jr. Performance Evaluation + AI Builder

PT Semen Padang

The phase where everything clicked. Power BI dashboards for production, finance, and sales data. 3 PowerApps applications used by dozens of departments and hundreds of employees. And since leveraging Claude intensively — I started building internal apps with Laravel that were previously impossible to build alone. AI didn't replace my skills, it amplified the process understanding I'd built over 15+ years.

2022 — 2025

2017 — 2022

Environmental Inspector

PT Semen Padang

The "builder mode on" phase. While managing hazardous waste monitoring and environmental compliance, I built — unprompted — an environmental quality tracking app, a FIFO-based waste management system, and a SHE dashboard in Power BI. All adopted because they were genuinely needed.

2007 — 2017

OHS Inspector

PT Semen Padang

A decade on the factory floor. OHS inspections, compliance, daily operations. Not glamorous, but this was the most important foundation: a deep understanding of how large companies actually work — from the ground up. Without this phase, nothing I built afterward would have been relevant.
