@christoschatzelas
Freelance agronomist specializing in rural development, precision agriculture, and sustainable agribusiness.
What I'm looking for
I’m a dedicated and versatile freelancer focused on agriculture and agribusiness, with a proven track record of delivering high-quality work that exceeds client expectations.
I specialize in agricultural investment programs for agri-business and sustainable energy solutions for agriculture, while also providing services in rural development, agricultural subsidy programs, livestock units, irrigation management, and consulting.
In my roles, I managed daily monitoring of chemical parameters in biology swimming pools and water features, including comprehensive maintenance and biological wastewater treatment, and I supervised construction work for new swimming pools and water features and their mechanical rooms.
I also contribute to research and project development—testing manure effects on vegetation and growth, working on photochemistry indices for early viral diagnosis, supporting in vitro native orchid reproduction, investigating PMMoV as a crop pathogen, and studying aphid–fungus interactions (e.g., Beauveria bassiana, Metarhizium robertsii, Isaria fumosorosea) for applied pest and disease solutions.
