Hargyo Tri Nugroho has been a lecturer at Multimedia Nusantara University since 2011. He has also been a lecturer at Dian Nuswantoro University for only a few months. Previously, Hargyo was a practitioner since 2002.

Hargyo started getting to know the IT world since 2000. At first, he was just an internet cafe guard when he was still studying Mechanical Engineering at the Bandung Institute of Technology (ITB). Hargyo studied IT self-taught until he finally got a freelance job which made him decide to stop studying at ITB. While working as a freelancer, Hargyo returned to study at Satya Wacana University by taking the informatics engineering study program. Since then, Hargyo began to explore IT not only on campus but also joins IT communities and looks for library materials on his own. According to him, learning IT is not enough just to attend lectures, he also sees the importance of learning by doing in understanding in depth the world of IT. Hargyo continued his master's education in Taiwan in 2009.

Hargyo's career as a practitioner started as a management trainee in Malaysia. After that, he became a web programmer and finally became a business development manager before becoming a lecturer.

Since becoming a lecturer at UMN, Hargyo assessed that the profile of UMN graduates can compete with graduates from other campuses. This is because the development of soft skills is highly emphasized on this campus. According to him, soft skills are very important in the world of work besides academic ability.
