Research That Ships, Software That {Scales}
Final-year Computer Science student at the University of Indonesia. AI research at NVIDIA, production speech models at Meeting.ai, and backends in Django, Go and Laravel.
Engineer first, researcher by habit
Hello! I’m Darrel Danadyaksa Poli, a final-year Computer Science student at the University of Indonesia (UI) specializing in Software Engineering, Backend Architecture, and Artificial Intelligence.
My technical journey spans deep learning research at NVIDIA (sequence model capacity & formal language recognition), production speech engineering at Meeting.ai (ASR stress-testing & knowledge distillation), full-stack development (Go, Django, Laravel, Flutter), and co-founding social technology startups (SafetyPin).
Beyond engineering and AI research, I have served as a Peer Counselor at Faculty of Computer Science UI (Curhat Sama Panda), supporting student mental health and psychological well-being. In my free time, I enjoy aviation simulation (virtual piloting), music theory, philosophy, and cooking.
Feel free to explore my interactive Portfolio or review my complete Curriculum Vitae.
Four things I keep coming back to
AI Research
Benchmarked RWKV-v7 against Transformers on formal regular languages (L1–L4) at NVIDIA, with a custom PyTorch WKV CUDA C++ operator and 1–3 edit-distance hard negatives.
Production Speech AI
Stress-tested ASR under 10+ concurrent live streams at Meeting.ai and compressed speaker verification through knowledge distillation.
Backend & Platform
REST APIs and system architecture in Go, Django, Laravel and Flutter, with CI/CD, BDD and TDD workflows.
Teaching & Mentoring
Teaching Assistant for AI & Data Science, Software Engineering Project, Operating Systems, and Calculus I & II.
