About
I'm Fitra Kacamarga. I build tools that make data and AI accessible to everyone, not just engineers.
I'm the creator of Seeknal — an open-source data pipeline tool with a built-in AI agent, feature store, and semantic layer. I also co-founded ClaimMind (Antler ID9), bringing AI-powered revenue cycle management to Indonesian healthcare.
Before building my own products, I spent 7+ years at Eureka AI in Singapore, growing from Data Scientist to Head of Engineering & ML. That journey taught me that the gap between "AI that works in a notebook" and "AI that works for real people" is where the hard and meaningful work lives.
I'm also a faculty member at Bina Nusantara University, where I've been teaching AI, data science, data engineering, and software engineering since 2011. I hold a Master of Information Technology from Binus and have published research in bioinformatics, ML, and cloud computing.
This blog is where I write about:
- Data engineering — pipelines, Apache Iceberg, feature stores, ML infrastructure
- Harness Engineering — what I learned from building AI agents
- Open source — lessons from building and maintaining Seeknal
- Building in public — the journey from engineer to founder and CTO
- Engineering leadership — what I learned as a technical leader across startups and enterprises
