From Journalism to AI

Driving Data Efficiency, Scaling Algorithm Quality

Journalist

Liputan6.com

I started my career hunting for truth. Conducting online content research, offline and online interviews, and writing updated news for the Citizen6 desk—a news section focused on social media virality. This was where I learned the most critical skill: finding the story in the noise, verifying facts obsessively, and communicating with clarity.

That foundation shaped everything that came after. When I moved into SEO and later into AI data quality, I carried one core instinct to every project:

"What does this actually mean? Is it accurate? Does it serve the person on the other end?"

From digital journalist, I scaled my research and data-centric strategy skills into SEO. I dove deeper into the technical side of the digital world, learning how to crack Google's algorithm and drive meaningful traffic. By combining journalistic rigor with technical optimization, I transformed site performance across multiple industries and improved organic growth at scale.

Quality Assurance & Data Annotator

ByteDance

As newer generations found information on emerging platforms like TikTok, I challenged myself to evolve. I transitioned from serving Google's algorithm to building AI algorithms myself as part of ByteDance's AI Data Service. I scaled my expertise to handle global data quality challenges across LLMs, recommendation systems, and video understanding—ensuring the algorithm serves users with the same integrity I learned as a journalist.
