Diandra Aditya Kusumawardhani

I was born in the city of Malang, Indonesia. I have lived in Jakarta, Atlanta and New York before currently residing in Dublin. After completing my Bachelor's in Computer Science, I worked as a programmer in one of the most connected banks in Indonesia. It was a pretty cool job, I got to travel a bit around Indonesia and made an impact in its application to approve loans, which meant more loans are approved faster! I moved to New York to pursue my MBA and see what was the greatest city on Earth was like. I had some good times, including when I took a study trip to Argentina and Chile to learn about their capital markets. I also worked part time as a student assistant in the division of Student Success. For me, Finance was a way to understand value, but I am always fascinated by how people use technology. By a stroke of luck, I had a job offer right after graduation and I was super excited to move across the Atlantic to Dublin, Ireland.

I particularly love SXSW in Austin, Tarantino movies, Calvin and Hobbes, Chuck Palahniuk, Muay Thai classes, coffee, Chaos Theory and the Small World Phenomenon.
