Hi, I'm Juan.

Building at the intersection of software development and data. Currently studying in Nanjing, always learning, always shipping.

About Me

Indonesian, based in Nanjing, building where code meets data.

Building where software meets data

I'm Juan Javier Samuel Zaluchu — an Indonesian software engineering student currently based in Nanjing, China. I build things at the intersection of data science and software development: training ML models with Python and XGBoost, visualizing insights with Seaborn and Looker Studio, and deploying full-stack apps with FastAPI and React.

Certified as a BNSP Junior Data Scientist and with hands-on project experience across machine learning, data pipelines, and web development, I'm actively expanding my skills while embracing the challenge of studying abroad in a new language and culture.

Educational Journey

Every move — Pekanbaru, then Yogyakarta, now Nanjing — pushed the same curiosity further.

SMA Santa Maria Pekanbaru
01 2020 – 2023
Senior High School

SMA Santa Maria Pekanbaru

A Catholic private high school in Pekanbaru, Riau, founded in 1975. Guided by the motto "Fortiter in re, suaviter in modo" — firm in principle, gentle in manner — and nationally Accredited A, it built a strong academic foundation and disciplined work ethic.

Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta
02 2023 – 2025
University

Universitas Atma Jaya Yogyakarta

A leading private Catholic university in Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Studied Informatics (Teknik Informatika) in the Faculty of Industrial Technology, covering software engineering, data science, mobile computing, and enterprise systems within a research-driven environment.

Nanjing Xiaozhuang University
03 Jun 2025 – Present
University

Nanjing Xiaozhuang University

A public university in Nanjing, Jiangsu, founded in 1927 by renowned educator Tao Xingzhi. One of Jiangsu's established institutions with active international partnerships across 20+ countries. Currently pursuing a Bachelor's in Software Engineering.

Featured Projects

A mix of web apps, machine learning, and dashboards — built to solve problems I actually ran into.

Work Experience

A few chapters where I learned by building, shipping, and solving real-world problems.

Jan – Feb 2026

Data Analyst Intern

Bank Sampah Digital

Turned messy social-impact data into a clearly measurable storytelling and forecasting workflow.

  • Built an end-to-end analytics pipeline from data cleaning and feature engineering to EDA and predictive modeling.
  • Compared three regression models with cross-validation; Linear Regression achieved Test R² = 0.936 and MAE around 25 likes.
  • Engineered a content scoring system with engagement and reach weighting, then visualized the insights for decision making.
  • Delivered 18+ visuals, including correlation heatmaps, monthly trend charts, word clouds, and model performance reports.

Jul – Sep 2026

AI Data & IoT DevOps Intern

Pasifik Satelit Nusantara (PSN)

Ran three parallel workstreams — plantation-security computer vision, Indonesian speech AI, and IoT asset-tracking firmware — taking each from raw data and hardware to validated, measured results.

  • Built a drone-footage object-detection pipeline from scratch with YOLOv8 (six classes), scaling annotation from ~17k to 32k+ labelled frames over 17 iterative training cycles.
  • Traced a silent image-to-label mismatch across 111+ videos to filename collisions and fixed it via task-id resolution, lifting Car mAP50 from 0.000 to 0.942 with no new data; separately rebuilt the validation set after finding 88% train/val leakage.
  • Delivered a deployed detection model at 0.879 overall mAP50, plus a thermal / night workstream at 0.943 mAP50, with all training data verified free of external datasets.
  • Benchmarked 7 Indonesian speech-to-text models across 89 real audio clips (whisper-large-v3 led at 3.2% WER) and built a real-time STT → Qwen3-8B (vLLM) → F5-TTS voice assistant with 141 automated tests.
  • Rewrote nRF52840 LoRaWAN tracker firmware (RadioLib, AS923_2) with sleep scheduling and SD-card session persistence, verifying the full device → ChirpStack → MQTT → database path at ~5 days of field battery life.
