About Me
I'm M. Mifthahul Amien, CTO at PT Mesin Kantong Ajaib (Mantiq), based in Bandung, West Java, Indonesia. I'm also involved with AI Lab, Mantiq's sister R&D lab.
My path started in fundamental science: a Bachelor of Science in Physics from Universitas Negeri Gorontalo (State University of Gorontalo). From there I moved into industrial systems — 5+ years in industrial IoT, where sensors, devices, and physical processes have to talk to software. Today my focus sits in software: AI automation, and the infrastructure that runs it.
At Mantiq I lead the development of AI automation and infrastructure.

Education
- Bachelor of Science in Physics — Universitas Negeri Gorontalo (State University of Gorontalo)
Experience
- 5+ years in industrial IoT (IIoT).
- Currently CTO at PT Mesin Kantong Ajaib (Mantiq), leading the development of AI automation and infrastructure.
How I Work
Architect-operator hybrid. I design SOPs, pricing frameworks, and system architecture — and still debug down to kernel and Docker internals.
No vendor lock-in. Systems are built so that clients fully own them, rather than renting access to somebody else's platform.
