Alumni Stories
Kinanti Wening Asih
The Information Systems and Technology program at ITB provided me with a strong foundation in both building technology and understanding how to strategically align it with real business needs and diverse use cases. Its interdisciplinary approach trained me to analyze problems from a bird’s-eye perspective while carefully considering the multifaceted layers of technology implementation, such as technical, societal, and organizational aspects.
This mindset has been instrumental throughout my academic and professional journey. It laid the foundation for my participation in various competitions, my journey as an IISMA student exchange awardee at the University of Melbourne, and several internships, including my most recent role at Procter & Gamble where I supported the Product Supply team in making more efficient, data-driven decisions by developing a system to improve operational processes.
Building on these experiences, I have been accepted to the University of Oxford to pursue a Master’s degree in Applied Digital Health, where I aim to explore how technology can be leveraged to transform healthcare delivery and outcomes. In this way, IST has been a crucial stepping stone that shaped my way of thinking and enabled me to pursue these opportunities.

As an alumna of the Information Systems and Technology program, I am truly grateful for the comprehensive foundation it provided. The curriculum thoughtfully integrates technical knowledge, business insight, and governance perspectives, equipping me to approach complex real-world challenges with both analytical depth and strategic thinking.
During my undergraduate studies, this strong foundation enabled me to pursue internship opportunities at Vidio, DOKU, and PwC Indonesia. The hands-on projects and case-based learning made it easier to adapt to professional environments and connect technology with business needs.
The program’s collaboration with industry partners also provided opportunities to pursue certifications, including those from CISCO, further strengthening my technical competencies and professional confidence.
After graduating, I continued my journey at PwC Indonesia and currently work at Mekari, one of Indonesia’s leading SaaS companies. Looking back, the ability to navigate both technology and business contexts has been a consistent advantage throughout my career.
I am sincerely thankful for how the program has shaped both my professional growth and long-term aspirations. I am confident it will continue to empower future students to become adaptive, ethical, and impactful technology professionals.
