I started working in IT fields when I was already a grown up girl... However, I fell in love immediately with this job!! Now, I'm a total Internet addict and 100% geek xD
My job consists mainly in SEO / SEM, emarketing, information architecture, and usability tasks (I prefer calling them USEO: user *and* search engine optimization), but I usually end up programming too. In fact, I love doing multiple things at the same time and make them all work together for better :)
Web mining and semantic web are two of my preferred areas right now (I'm constantly researching these! They are my promises for the future).
I have my own little consulting company with my friend and colleague Mauro Gullino. Here I also work as a Project Manager.
SEO, SEM, emarketing, usability, information architecture, semantic web.
100% enthusiastic. We love doing things right, on time and budget ;)

Constantly trying to make converts to the semantic web cause :) Not only traditional semantic web (uppercase Semantic Web), but also microformats and other related technologies.
24/7 exploring, reading, researching, trying out new things to make the semantic web work.

October 2006 — March 2007 (6 months)
I was in charge of emarketing and SEO for this company's websites. ByT offers furnished apartments in Buenos Aires for temporary rent.
My main goal was to get to the top of SERP's with keywords related to our business. For example: apartments buenos aires, furnished apartments in buenos aires, apartamentos corporativos, and so on.
This company's sites are in english, spanish and portuguese, so it was triple challenge! :)
Some of ByT's websites are:
- ByT Argentina, http://www.bytargentina.com
- Puerto Madero Rentals, http://www.puertomaderorentals.com.ar
- Housing Solutions, http://www.housingsolutions.com.ar
Bachelor of Arts, Philosophy, 2007 — 2010 (expected)
