I’m Rama, back with my mission to recognize exceptional talents from our MSIB Batch 6 Interns. Widya, a Business Data Science student from Udayana University, embarked on his MSIB internship at Bukit Vista in January 2024. His internship experience demonstrates the transformative power of combining technical expertise with real-world business applications. Widya quickly immersed himself in data management and automation, taking on critical projects that directly contributed to Bukit Vista’s operational efficiency.
One of his major accomplishments was his work on the Atlas project, where he automated pricing recommendations for more than 100 properties. This initiative significantly reduced the time required for manual pricing updates and led to a 4% monthly revenue contribution. By developing advanced pricing models and visualizations, Widya empowered stakeholders to make data-driven decisions, demonstrating the essential role of data science in optimizing property management.
Another key achievement was the migration of machine learning platforms, which lowered operational costs by 100% and improved service availability. The project involved moving from a costly, inefficient platform to a more suitable solution tailored to Bukit Vista’s needs. His success in this area underscores the importance of selecting the right technology in business operations and highlights his ability to contribute to cost-saving initiatives.
Widya’s contributions were not limited to technical work; he also embraced mentorship roles throughout his internship. He actively mentored students in several events, including guest lectures at Universitas Gadjah Mada and a data science hackathon at Universitas Airlangga. His role as a mentor illustrates his passion for knowledge sharing, which benefits both his mentees and the broader data science community.
Throughout his internship, Widya emphasized the critical importance of data visualization, creating dashboards that helped stakeholders make faster, more informed decisions. His work on automating pricing workflows further enhanced operational efficiency, allowing for more seamless and scalable pricing management processes.
Widya’s supervisor at Bukit Vista, Bella, expressed her admiration for Widya’s remarkable contributions and innovative thinking. She remarked, “Widya is one of the most diligent and forward-thinking interns we’ve had. His ability to leverage exploratory data analysis and develop an automated pricing system has been outstanding. His work in identifying seasonal patterns and regional trends allowed us to implement pricing adjustments based on each property’s performance, pushing our business outcomes forward.”
Bella also praised Widya’s keen attention to factors influencing booking success, stating, “His analytical approach in setting effective pricing strategies demonstrates his deep understanding of our business needs. Through his dedication, Widya not only contributed significantly to our success but is also shaping his path in data science.”
Widya’s journey reflects the transformative culture at Bukit Vista, where interns are empowered to take on meaningful projects and contribute directly to the company’s success. As a business data science intern, he not only developed his technical skills but also gained a deep understanding of the hospitality and technology industries, preparing him for a successful future in data science.
Widya’s experience exemplifies how Bukit Vista’s focus on innovation, mentorship, and hands-on learning creates an environment where interns can thrive. From automating business processes to mentoring future data scientists, Widya’s time at Bukit Vista serves as a powerful example of the opportunities available for those who are eager to grow and make an impact in the world of business and technology.
