Lupe Canaviri Maydana
Software Engineer, Artist, and Social Media Manager in La Paz, Bolivia
I am a software engineer, public speaker, and artist currently living in Bolivia. My interests range from entrepreneurship to technology. I am also interested in acting, traveling, and dancing.
My story:
I am a native American (aymara), bisexual, and feminist, my family is an immigrant from country side to the city, they were really happy that I got the chance to explore the world after I finished my bachelor degree, and they were even happier when I came back home because they missed me and I missed them too!
This last months back in my country I have been exploring the merge between art and technology because I have been an artist before starting my career in tech, as a result I have giving talks about this research in my community, I also help a lot to nucleognulinux which is a study group that focuses on learning and discussing free software and open source technologies, with this group we have given workshops to people that lives in the city but also people that is far from the city, I am really happy that we got the opportunity to share our experiences with people that lives in the countryside.
As a result of helping this communities and giving talks I have realized that a lot of the work we are doing in La Paz is not recorded that is the main reason that I started my new project called "State of Tech".
