Ardian Yuli Setyanto, has played with programming since high school. He joined the national selection for Tim Olimpiade Komputer Indonesia (TOKI, Indonesian Computer Olympiad Team) twice, in 2002 and 2003, which persuaded him to study computer science at Gadjah Mada University (UGM), and he graduated in 2009—the first among his friends—with a score of 3.5/4. He also used WordPress as his essay for his bachelor's degree. Adrian developed his own plugin and combined it with a GSM phone to read and send SMS (text messages) instead of the usual e-mail to manage WordPress comments in his essay.

Now, he is working as a backend developer using PHP (Symfony2) and Ruby (Rails and Sinatra) at sTRADEtegy (stradetegy.com).
