Hi there! I'm Rafi
I'm a Computer Science (AI) student who loves building things for the web, app, and exploring AI. My coding journey started back in middle school when I first discovered web development, and I’ve been hooked ever since!

I’m pursuing my Bachelor’s in Computer Science (Artificial Intelligence) at University of Malaya. Besides that, I’m a Data Support Intern at TikTok and active in student organizations, serving as the Deputy Head of the Data Center and Digitalization Directorate at PPI Dunia, where I co-lead two divisions: Data Analysis & Digital Governance, and Technology Development & Infrastructure, focusing on digital systems, data management, and platform integration across the global Indonesian student network. Previously, I led the Data and Information System Bureau at PPI Malaysia, managing a 12-person team that built and maintained digital platforms for Indonesian students in Malaysia.

My recent work focuses on AI-powered fashion recommendation systems. For my Final Year Project this semester, I am developing a fashion recommendation iOS app based on complementary item retrieval and planned biometric personalization. The outfit recommendation model is based on the OutfitTransformer architecture paper with slight modifications to make it work on CPU-only infrastructure, reducing the dependency on GPU for practical deployment. Other than that, I build full-stack applications using React, Laravel, and Native web technologies, develop mobile apps with React Native, and implement AI solutions using Python with PyTorch and vector retrieval systems.

Outside of coding, I like to discuss and share knowledge about tech and AI. I’m also that rare extroverted developer who loves a good stage and a good challenge! Want to chat about tech, collaborate on something cool, or just say hi? Let’s build something awesome together!
