About

I am Alfian Firmansyah. I am an AI research scientist at a Y Combinator-backed startup, training Arabic speech and language models for real-time voice agents, and I am the founder of an edtech company focused on widening access to quality education in Indonesia. I am based in Indonesia, building with a team in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.

My work sits at the intersection of deep technology and entrepreneurship. Alongside it, I hold executive education certificates from UC Berkeley Haas (Data Strategy and AI) and Columbia Engineering (AI Cybersecurity and Governance), and I am currently in Stanford's Artificial Intelligence Professional Program.

I write here about building companies, applied deep tech, and the occasional lesson learned the hard way.
