Hi, I’m Darrel Danadyaksa Poli
Research That Ships, Software That {Scales}
Software Engineer & AI Researcher (CS Alum, University of Indonesia). Ex-NVIDIA AI Research, production speech models at Meeting.ai, and scalable backend architecture.
Engineer first, researcher by habit
Hello! I’m Darrel Danadyaksa Poli, a Computer Science graduate from 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.
