Bagas Swastanto is Head of Data with 11 years of experience building production-grade data science and ML systems, and over 8 years focused on end-to-end data science including MLOps and experimentation. He has a strong NLP pedigree—designing production BERT variants, training language models on 200M sentences, and shipping high-throughput generative and classification models that materially improved product metrics. At Gojek he led analytics and model development that drove major product launches, customer segmentation, and a promo-ranking RL system that lifted CTR and orders, while also mentoring a multi-disciplinary team. Previously he built a robust data platform and a 97% F1 legal document parser at Hukumonline and prototyped ASR and NER solutions in constrained-data settings at Kata.ai (with an ACL workshop publication). Trained at Delft (MSc CompSci, GPA ~3.93/4.0) and ITB, he combines rigorous academic foundations with pragmatic, deployable AI solutions tailored for high-scale Indonesian products. Colleagues describe him as a T-shaped leader who balances deep NLP research instincts with hands-on production engineering to create lasting societal impact.
