Hi!I'mThoriq

I build AI products from the interface people touch to the systems underneath. I work on agent behavior, memory, retrieval, evals, and backend infrastructure. I care most about whether any of it makes the product better for the people using it.

I build AI products and developer tools.

I'm a software engineer at Pandai, where I've been part of the AI team since it began. My work spans product interfaces, agent behavior, retrieval, memory, safety, evaluations, and backend infrastructure.

I also work as a technical consultant for DifabisDifabis CoffeeA café in Mojokerto that employs Deaf people through a BAZNAS (Indonesia’s national zakat agency) program.Learn more about Difabis ↗, using software to improve café operations. Food service is demanding, and I want Deaf staff to have interfaces that support how they work.

I support my former high school by teaching students about software development.
