DA
Dr. Aris Munandar, M.Cs.
Thesis Advisor + Head of Big Data Lab, UMY· July 2024
Rina combined statistical rigor with engineering discipline in a way I rarely see at undergraduate level. Her thesis on COVID-19 forecasting moved beyond toy benchmark comparisons — she actually shipped reproducible code + clear stakeholder framing. Ready for industry from day one.
Hosted Rina as our analytics intern. She picked up our internal data stack faster than most full-time hires — within 6 weeks she was shipping production-ready customer segmentation features. Strong fundamentals, calm under pressure, asks the right questions.
Rina delivered our churn prediction project end-to-end as a freelancer — model, dashboard, retention playbook. The output is now part of our standard monthly client report. Reliable, professional, and surprisingly business-savvy for a fresh grad.
