2017—2021
University of Indonesia
Control engineering, robotics, competitions, and the first version of Printbox turned technical curiosity into a direction.

JoshuaAlviando.
I turn technical curiosity into useful things, from control systems and education to products built for people with unfinished ideas.
Currently building
Inventing.id ↗The path behind the work
From campus to Japan.
Then home.
Before the projects and personas, there is one continuous story: learning control engineering, growing through work in Japan, then returning to Indonesia to build what matters.
Read the complete journey2022—2025
Engineering in Japan
Three and a half years in factory automation shaped a disciplined approach to systems, culture, leadership, and learning.
2025—NOW
Returning to Indonesia
A deliberate return home to build Inventing.id, grow Printbox, teach through AkademiKun, and turn experience into impact.
A working philosophy
Build with rigor.
Teach with clarity.
Stay human.
“In the age of AI, our edge is no longer knowing everything. It is knowing what deserves to be made, and using every available expert to make it matter.”
Technology is leverage. Judgment, empathy, and the courage to keep learning are what give it direction.
My different facets
Four facets. One story.
AkademiKun for Japanese learning. ControlInJosh for engineering. IMJCorp for ventures. Return to Grace for faith. Each is a real part of my work and life.
EDUCATE
AkademiKun
Sharing Japanese language through interactive videos on Reels, Shorts, and YouTube, discussing real examples from Japanese dramas and anime.
ENGINEER
ControlInJosh
Sharing control engineering knowledge as an Electrical Engineering (Control Systems) graduate from University of Indonesia.
VENTURE
IMJCorp
My journey as a technopreneur, currently building Inventing.id - connecting innovators and bringing ideas to life.
FAITH
RTG - ReturnToGrace
A Christian journey for young hearts who have wandered far from faith, showing that there is always a way back to Jesus Christ.
Journal
Notes from the field
Lessons in progress, written while the ideas are still alive.

Keep forgetting things
I realized that my memory is not always accurate. Sometimes I can feel completely certain about something, even though the reality is different. This reminded me not to rely solely on memory, but to make double-checking a habit before making decisions or giving answers.

Sekolah Robotics
Sekolah robotik adalah tempat belajar berbasis proyek yang menggabungkan sains, teknologi, teknik, dan matematika (STEM) untuk menyiapkan siswa menghadapi masa depan berbasis otomasi dan AI. Kurikulum biasanya bertahap—dari perakitan dasar hingga pemrograman Python/C++, elektronika (Arduino/ESP32), sensorik, kendali, hingga desain mekanik dan pencetakan 3D—dengan praktik langsung setiap pertemuan. Siswa dilatih berpikir sistematis: merumuskan masalah, mendesain prototipe, menguji, lalu iterasi sampai solusi stabil. Kolaborasi dan komunikasi ditekankan lewat kerja tim dan kompetisi seperti FLL atau KRCI, sekaligus membangun portofolio proyek nyata yang bisa dipamerkan ke sekolah maupun industri. Dengan bimbingan mentor yang relevan dan standar keselamatan di laboratorium, sekolah robotik tidak hanya mengasah keterampilan teknis, tetapi juga karakter: disiplin, rasa ingin tahu, dan kegigihan dalam memecahkan masalah dunia nyata.
