@faruqsandi
Software Development Engineer specializing in Python backend, automation, and applied machine learning.
IndonesiaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Software Development Engineer with a strong Python background, focused on backend development, process automation, and machine learning applications. I build scalable web systems and multitenant architectures, and I enjoy connecting real-world workflows to reliable software.
At XNA Labs, I’m building lab-in-the-cloud solutions by integrating hardware like Opentrons and Illumina NextSeq 2000 with web platforms. I also work on robotic automation for oncology diagnostics workflows, including integrating a robotic manipulator to support human-free wet lab operations.
Before that, I delivered full-cycle projects as a solo Python Software Engineer and developed a multi-tenant, WhatsApp-centric CRM. I’ve also contributed through machine learning and data roles—refactoring data pipelines for faster execution and researching brain-computer interface and assistive robotics—so I bring both engineering execution and data-driven problem solving to my work.
