About Me

I'm Ali Mustofa, a passionate software engineer with a strong focus on machine learning, deep learning, and computer vision. With years of experience in researching and developing intelligent systems, I specialize in building real-time solutions such as OCR for license plates and container numbers, and automated inspection systems powered by AI.

Currently working full-time at PT Halotec Indonesia, I actively contribute to the development of AI-driven products and embedded systems, combining deep learning models with edge computing on NVIDIA Jetson devices. I enjoy learning new technologies, sharing knowledge through technical writing on Medium, and continuously expanding my expertise in AI development and system deployment.

Projects

Vehicle Classification

Developed a custom vehicle classification system with real-time processing, deployed on NVIDIA Jetson series devices.

OCR License Plate

Implemented a real-time OCR system for license plate recognition based on vehicle tracking. The solution includes:

  • Vehicle Detection: Real-time vehicle tracking and triggering using virtual line deployment, optimized for NVIDIA Jetson devices.
  • Custom Indonesian Plate Detection: Deep learning model trained for local plate patterns.
  • OCR License Plate: Optical character recognition using a custom deep learning dataset, deployed on a dedicated server.

Realtime Inspection Autogate for Container Shipping

Developed a full-stack deep learning system integrated with 1D/2D LIDAR and camera triggers for truck inspection at automated gates. The system captures images from all sides—left, right, and top—using line-scan cameras to build a panoramic view of containers.

Key deep learning modules:

  • Container Number, ISO Code, Max Gross: OCR using CRAFT model.
  • Damage Detection: Semantic segmentation with a custom damage dataset.
  • Seal Presence: Deep learning classification for seal detection.
  • Truck ID: OCR using deep learning CRAFT model.
  • Chassis Type: Classification of chassis type (plate/frame).
  • LIDAR Profiling: Collection and visualization of 2D LIDAR profiles.

Models are trained, designed, and deployed on NVIDIA Jetson Xavier using Docker-based microservices for modular deep learning inference. The system processes real-time data from multiple cameras to extract actionable information with targeted accuracy above 99%.
