About Me

I’m John Alexander Santosa, a Computer Science student at Northeastern University’s Khoury College of Computer Sciences, concentrating in Artificial Intelligence.

I love building things that combine data, design, and logic — from full-stack web apps to intelligent systems that make workflows smarter and more human-friendly.

My internships at GoTo Group, Bank Central Asia, and Proskuneo Kadarusman taught me to balance scalability with polish, and that good engineering is both technical and creative.

Currently

Polishing my portfolio, experimenting with ML for sports analytics, and refining my data pipelines.

Data science, web engineering, soccer analytics, and creative AI projects in music or art.

A (Short) Funny Story

During my flight back home to Indonesia, I was stuck in Hong Kong for a good 8 hours because my transit flight was delayed. I met 5 other Indonesians during that time, most were from Northeastern University and 1 student was from a college in Hong Kong (he was my high school upperclassman).
