I am Ivana Tilca, I was born in the city of Salta in northern Argentina. I lived in different parts of the world like Mendoza, Córdoba, Buenos Aires and in the United States, Redmond, WA. At one time in my life I was a backpacker and met Europe, the Middle East and part of Latin America.

I am curious, restless and lover of amazement. I will briefly tell you my story.

As I mentioned I was born in Salta, I lived there until I was 12 years old and then I moved with my family to the city of Mendoza west of Argentina where I finished my secondary studies.

Then, when I was 18, I moved to Córdoba (Argentina), where I was part of the Journalism career at the National University.

For family reasons I moved back to Salta, where I began my studies in Information Systems. There I started getting involved in the Microsoft community and became a Microsoft Student Partner. Which gave me the opportunity to travel through different parts of the country giving computer training.
In 2008 I competed in Imagine Cup. Microsoft’s competition for innovation. With the same I was able to start my international trips, presenting myself in the final in France in July of the same year.
In 2012 I started working as a Technical Evangelist at Microsoft for the Buenos Aires / Uruguay subsidiary.

And in the middle of the same year I moved to Redmond, to work at Microsoft Corp. I think that experience marked and marked the rest of my life.

I was in a different country, surrounded by people from different countries. We used free time from work to travel and get to know the United States and there I realized, that I loved this world.

Through Microsoft I was able to travel to Dubai, Russia among other countries.

It was in 2014 that I decided to take my backpack and travel the world. With 28 years I had to know more places. There travel through Europe and the Middle East.
From there, I returned and decided to settle in Córdoba.

I work today for a software company called 3XM Group as Innovation Evangelist and in my spare time I dedicate myself to research on technology and innovation.
