Ammar Qurthuby
AI Master's Student at Universitas Syiah Kuala | Web Developer & Data Analyst
I'm an Informatics (S1) graduate from Universitas Syiah Kuala, now pursuing a Master's degree in Artificial Intelligence. I enjoy turning ideas into working software, from machine-learning models to clean, interactive web apps.
My work spans applied AI/ML such as speech emotion recognition and fine-tuning speech-recognition models, alongside data visualization and full-stack web & mobile development. I also bring hands-on experience in statistical data processing, IT operations, and digital media management. I care about clean architecture, clear visuals, and shipping things that actually help people.
