Halo, saya Farhan Kurnia Febriansyah 👋

Kesibukan utama saya di sekitar machine learning dan statistika. Saya suka membangun sesuatu from scratch untuk benar-benar paham cara kerjanya, mengimplementasi ulang algoritma dan paper hanya dengan NumPy dan Pandas, lalu memverifikasinya terhadap hasil aslinya. Di sisi lain saya juga mengerjakan pipeline ML end-to-end untuk berbagai jenis task: sentiment classification untuk climate sustainability report, regression untuk prediksi hasil panen, sampai klasifikasi dataset kategorikal ratusan ribu baris. Kadang nyasar juga ke simulasi, dari sistem antrian sampai reaksi fisi nuklir (simplified version of course). Semua eksperimen saya tulis dalam LaTeX, dan notebook saya bahasanya campuran English-Indonesia.

Saya juga pernah aktif di Kaliber, organisasi yang bergerak di bidang cybersecurity, sebagai anggota divisi riset dan pengembangan. Di sana saya menyusun modul pembelajaran yang memperkenalkan pentesting tools seperti sqlmap dan Burp Suite, serta membahas berbagai kelas exploit (buffer overflow, ret2win, Linux privilege escalation, XSS, LFI, dan lainnya) plus materi kriptografi. Untuk open recruitment-nya, saya mengembangkan Discord bot dengan Python yang berfungsi sebagai platform CTF (capture the flag), dan ikut menyumbang beberapa soal di kategori crypto dan reverse engineering binary Linux.

At home, saya menjalankan homelab dari PC lama yang sudah pensiun: Intel gen 10, Proxmox, TrueNAS dengan ZFS. Karena ISP saya menaruh saya di belakang CGNAT, remote access dan deployment jalan lewat Tailscale dan Cloudflare Tunnel. Fun fact: situs yang sedang kamu baca ini berjalan di lab itu.

Saat away from keyboard, saya biasanya di belakang kamera mempotret hal-hal random, bermain D&D dengan teman-teman, atau menulis cerita untuk kampanye D&D berikutnya.

The supervision committee

Every experiment in this lab is reviewed by 6 supervisors. Click a supervisor to open their staff file.

Staff file № 1

Marmalade

Marmalade

Head of Snacks

Orange tabby, found asleep in the ramen aisle and never really woke up. Controls the treat budget with an iron paw and has vetoed every attempt at portion control. Believes every experiment runs better after second breakfast.

Staff file № 2

Miso

Miso

Quality Assurance

Grey tabby with a permanent frown and impossibly high standards. Has rejected every deploy since 2024, citing 'insufficient naps' in the test coverage. If Miso walks away from your keyboard, that was the approval process.

Alfred

Alfred

Front of House

Wears the bowtie unironically. Greets every visitor, invoices nobody, and considers the doorbell a personal rival. The only committee member with customer-facing skills, all of which are meowing.

Staff file № 4

Cali

Cali

Chaos Engineer

Calico, one permanent wink. Runs unscheduled failure injection by unplugging whatever cable looks most important. The home lab's uptime is measured in intervals between Cali's experiments.

Staff file № 5

Pixel

Pixel

Data Entry

Siamese, blue-eyed, types by sleeping on the keyboard. Once contributed 40,000 characters of the letter 'j' to a thesis draft. Productivity peaks whenever the laptop is warmest, which is always during deadlines.

Boxcat

Boxcat

Logistics

Black cat, lives in a cardboard box regardless of the furniture provided. Oversees all shipping and receiving by sitting in every package the moment it is opened. If it fits, it ships; if it doesn't fit, Boxcat ships anyway.

The lab accepts collaboration proposals. The cats accept treats.
