About Me

I build technology to understand people better.

I'm Dian Rakhmawati Lestari, a Computer Science student at BINUS University. My strongest area is technology, especially AI/ML, NLP, and software development, but my learning journey has shown me that meaningful products are never just about code.

Through projects in local language processing, handwritten script recognition, health-tech prototyping, shuttle booking UX, and iOS development, I learned to connect technical execution with user empathy, teamwork, and storytelling.

I want to grow as a developer who can build products that are not only functional, but also thoughtful, inclusive, and useful for real people.

“Tech as my foundation, people as my direction.”

Curiosity

I ask why before how. Understanding the problem is more important than rushing to build.

Empathy

Technology should serve people. I keep user needs at the center of every project decision.

Grit

Projects rarely go perfectly. I stay accountable, adapt, and keep things moving.
