I founded Botline to bring solid software engineering and practical AI to businesses of every size.
Today I build production LLM systems, from retrieval and embeddings to AI agents. My background is in mobile and backend engineering for clients in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, and I hold a master’s from ITS Surabaya with published research in AI.

2025–now
Founder
botline.idA platform for building WhatsApp chatbots. A business scans a QR code to connect its WhatsApp number, picks a template or draws the conversation in a flow builder, and the chatbot starts replying within minutes. For questions a script can’t handle, it uploads its documents and the AI answers from those.
Broadcasts, several numbers in one dashboard, and a REST API with webhooks are part of the same platform. I build the Go services behind it and the retrieval layer that keeps the assistants to their sources.
