Senior Configuration & Information Management professional specializing in CM/QA, change control, and traceability in regulated engineering programs
ArgentinaWhat I'm looking for
I’m a Senior configuration and information management professional with over 20 years’ experience in highly regulated sectors—nuclear, aerospace, defense, government, and banking. I specialize in Configuration Management, Change Control, Quality Assurance, and Process Management under international standards such as ISO 9001, ECSS, and DO-178, helping teams deliver mission-critical engineering with disciplined traceability and compliance.
My work has consistently produced measurable quality outcomes, including “Zero non-conformities in the Configuration Management process over 4 years,” driven by an end-to-end traceability scheme from definition through implementation on an international project with more than 40 professionals. I also “implemented and scaled the CM process from a baseline of 1,492 documents” to integrate documents, requirements, and 3D models under a single configuration management scheme, and I’ve “led more than 30 change control boards” to manage evaluation, approval, and implementation of baseline modifications. In addition, I “led the ISO 9001 certification process for INVAP's Software Engineering Department,” defining processes and procedures to make quality sustainable.
Today, I combine my CM/QA foundation with continuous improvement and digital transformation, incorporating Artificial Intelligence and Knowledge Graphs tools into engineering information management. As a consultant, I lead the integration of engineering information across multiple platforms (documents, structured data, and 3D models), prepare configuration management documentation for adoption into value chains, and provide technical advisory, knowledge transfer, and compliance assurance for international requirements.
