What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead presales, technical delivery, or solution architecture teams delivering network, data center, security, and cloud solutions that connect technology investments to measurable customer business outcomes.

At SONDA de Colombia, I designed and executed innovation strategy across mining, oil and gas, education, and government, leading presales engineers and solutions architects pursuing Big and Mega Deals.

I manage complex technical proposals with a focus on financial margins, operating income, and solution quality. Previously at Juniper Networks, I served as the executive and technical point of contact for Tier-1 telecommunications providers in the US and Canada.

At Zensar Technologies, I oversaw service delivery for Cisco, Google, and Microsoft while leading complex data center and 5G/4G deployments across the Americas. My work includes Cisco UCS, Hyperflex, ACI, engineering documentation, risk mitigation, vulnerability audits, and critical escalation management.

Across SONDA, NEC, Ikusi, Getronics, and consulting roles, I've designed network, data center, security, storage, virtualization, hybrid cloud, and automation solutions. I'm an Electronic Engineer and CCIE Data Center professional who connects customer business needs with practical technology architectures.
