Mutaqin Aryawijaya
Applied AI engineer

“I build models that read the world, and the agents that act on what they read.”

Jakarta, UTC+7

Full-time

My day job. Production computer vision and agents at Boon AI, and before that, operations software for cross-border payments at SentBe.

(Full-time, now) Jun 2025 to now

AI/ML Engineer

Computer vision and agents that read dense construction drawings for estimators.

(Full-time, previously) May 2024 to May 2025

SentBe, Software Engineer

Money moving across borders has to be in the right wallet before the customer sends it. I built the internal operations platform that tracked balances, forecast demand and scheduled funding for the FX team.

06 studies, all public or on the way

Flight-test the fly

Can a fruit fly's wiring diagram, run as a spiking network, keep a simulated Cessna 172 straight in turbulence?

Lead:
Mutaqin Aryawijaya
Type:
Independent research
Output:
Preprint, Oct 2026
Method:
Spiking connectome, flight sim
  • A lab bench with a microscope and a tiny drone

    The bench

  • Spike raster, yaw damping

  • GPS-denied homing

Research

Questions I got curious about and ran to find out. Simulation or public data, on a laptop, written up so anyone can check the work.

(Play it) Browser game

Rockster

A road car with cold-gas thrusters, on real physics. Take it round Spa, the Nordschleife, Suzuka or Monaco, then hop it over the barriers. Eight cameras, gamepad support, and the tanks cool as they empty, so every jump costs you.

(Fly it) Live simulator

Mutant brain drone

A Crazyflie in MuJoCo, steered by models of bee, ant and fly circuits. It learns the target picture, finds it with no GPS and no map, then flies home on its own path integrator.

  2. (02) Live simulator, paper

    Mutant brain drone

    Can a small drone find a target and fly home with no GPS and no map, steered by models of bee, ant and fly circuits? A MuJoCo Crazyflie with a mushroom-body memory and a path integrator, flyable in the browser.

  3. (03) Simulation, public

    Silent flock

    With no radio and most GPS receivers spoofed, who does the rest of the flock follow?

  4. (04) Playable in the browser

    Rockster

    How high can a road car on cold-gas thrusters hop and still land, once the tanks cool as they empty? It started as a research simulator and became a game: drive it at Spa, the Nordschleife, Suzuka or Monaco, with lift, boost, yaw jets and fan suction.

  5. (05) Private for now

    Inner voice check

    Does a public brain-to-text decoder, trained on attempted speech, also pick up imagined speech from the same person?

  6. (06) Published, 2024

    SPICS, undergraduate thesis

    A 3D-printed morphing-wing high-lift mechanism for small UAVs. Peer reviewed and published at ISAST 2024, Springer.
