Hi, I'm Ari Maulana
AI Product Engineer for Early Stage Founders
I ship AI-powered products for founders in Japan and Indonesia, fast enough to move like a solo builder and reliable enough that your next hire won't have to rebuild it.

What I Can Help You Build
From a rough idea to a working product. I work directly with founders,no middlemen, no waiting on a design queue.
My Work
Here is what I have actually shipped.Real problems, real constraints, real users.
What Clients Say
Feedback from founders and teams I have built products with.“We came to Ari with a half-working prototype and an investor demo three weeks out. He rebuilt the parts that mattered, told us honestly which ones could wait, and we walked into that meeting with something that actually worked.”
Hiroshi Tanabe - CEO, Kumo Labs
“What I liked most is that he asks why before he builds. Twice he talked us out of a feature we didn't really need, and that saved us more time than anything he shipped.”
Marcus Adeyemi - Head of Product, Talentbridge
“Honestly I expected the usual freelancer back-and-forth. Instead I got a short update every couple of days and a staging link I could click around in. Our own devs took over the codebase with no drama.”
Rizky Pratama - Co-founder, Sinarloka
“Solid work on our AI screening flow. The first version was slower than we wanted, but he profiled it, fixed it within the week and wrote down exactly what he changed.”
Daniel Mensah - CTO, Fieldnote
