Alicia has an IT degree from Sydney, Australia, and has worked in internet and mobile application product management for 10 years.

However, in 2006, as a result of a failed Google job interview, Alicia decided to implement an idea for a web application she had come up with years before, and start her own web start-up.

She used her savings, and worked full-time while developing the proposition, and hired Romanian developers to make her vision a reality. It was hard unforgiving work, but her passion and dedication to her vision kept her working day and night.

I started as a software developer, and I still love coding.
I managed projects, trained people, acquired new clients.
Then I moved to academia, teaching DBMS, expert systems and MIS.
I ran several international projects in adult education.
And then I eventually managed to fulfill my lifelong dream: doing research full time. I started looking at knowledge management and e-learning applied to software engineering. Then I embraced the topics of Open Source diffusion and Social Media.
