Reza Maliki Akbar - Portfolio

About Me

I'm a Mechatronics and Automation Engineer, a hands-on maker, and a versatile problem-solver with a deep passion for innovation. As a lifelong learner, I thrive on exploring new technologies and tackling fresh challenges to create impactful solutions. 🛠️🚀

My expertise spans programming, software engineering, robotics, autonomous systems, AI, and electronics, built upon a Bachelor's in Engineering Physics (ITS) and an Associate's in Mechatronics (Polman Bandung). This foundation is now enhanced by a comprehensive, scholarship-backed Full Stack Data Analytics program at RevoU.

My career includes leading university robotics teams (like founding Banyubramanta ITS) and significant experience in the defence and aerospace sector with TERMA A/S and Indonesia Defence Services. Here, I've honed skills in cutting-edge areas like surveillance radar, combat management systems, and electronic warfare.

I'm eager to leverage this unique blend of deep engineering knowledge and advanced data science capabilities to drive innovation and solve complex problems. My recent projects, such as the "IoTCyberSec" risk analysis and the "Air Quality Data Analytics Showcase," demonstrate my ability to translate data into actionable insights.
