Jakarta & Bandung, Indonesia • Open to Remote AI & Engineering Work

Alfi Muhammad Akbar Baria

AI Trainer & LLM Evaluator • Embedded Systems Engineer • Smart Metering Lead

Hi, I'm Alfi. For over ten years, I've designed custom PCBs, microcontroller firmware, and industrial metering solutions for teams in automotive, energy, and public utilities. Since 2021, I've also worked with global AI teams to test large language models, rank competing responses side by side, and catch factual or cultural errors in Indonesian and English.

Building physical hardware teaches you to respect small details. When a board trace is noisy or a sensor reading drifts, something real stops working in the field. I bring that same practical habit to AI quality work: reading user prompts carefully, checking claims against real sources, and writing clear notes on why one answer works better than another.

Core Capabilities

Three areas where I do hands-on work

My day-to-day background combines circuit design on the bench, field coordination with utility customers, and structured evaluation of language and image models.

01 • AI QUALITY

LLM & Multimodal AI Evaluation

I test how models handle real user requests, multi-turn memory, grounded facts, and Indonesian local nuance. Instead of vague feedback, I write concrete, turn-by-turn rationales explaining what went wrong and how to fix it.

02 • HARDWARE

Embedded Systems & PCB Design

From schematic capture to SMD board assembly and C++ firmware, I build reliable controllers that read industrial sensors, drive high-current motors and pneumatic valves, and talk to Android tablets or local Wi-Fi web servers.

03 • UTILITY SOLUTIONS

Technical Sales & Smart Metering

I work directly between utility clients like PLN, government certification bodies, and internal R&D engineers. That includes preparing tender proposals, running field training, and resolving technical issues on smart kWh and water meters.

AI Quality & RLHF

How I evaluate language and multimodal models

Good AI evaluation requires more than picking which paragraph looks nicer. Models often write confident answers that miss a time constraint, invent a detail, or sound unnatural to a native Indonesian reader.

Since 2021, I have worked across OneForma/UHRS, Outlier, and Meridial Marketplace (by Invisible) on evaluation workflows that test factual grounding, multi-turn personalization, and visual prompt alignment.

Multilingual Indonesian LLM Quality

Review Indonesian model outputs for local user intent, tone, response length, and automated-judge accuracy across four workstreams, maintaining an average QA score above 4.75 out of 5.00.

Multi-Turn Benchmarking

AI Personalization & Memory

Tested long multi-turn conversations for user preference retention and contextual reasoning, logging exact turn-level evidence whenever a model dropped prior context or misread dates.

Outlier Projects

RLHF Ranking & Targeted Rewrites

Designed challenging test prompts, verified source groundedness and instruction compliance, ranked competing model outputs side by side, and rewrote flawed responses.

Visual & Search Quality

Multimodal Image & Search Rating

Assessed hundreds of AI-generated images against dual reference photos for visual artifacts and prompt fidelity (QA >4.5/5), building on 10,000+ search relevance tasks at OneForma/UHRS.
