What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a role where I can apply my engineering experience to support progress, plan and deliver objectives, and contribute practical solutions within an ethical and professional environment.

At EGECOL S.A E.S.P, I designed and built the LA LIBERTAD small hydroelectric plant, including turbine selection, hydraulic sizing, and generator protection. I also managed requirements for commercial operation and supported commissioning.

At ENERGETICA S.A E.S.P, I developed RPA processes with UiPath and monitored operating data to identify deviations. I also diagnosed, repaired, tested, and commissioned hydroelectric turbo-generator units.

My work has also included project direction for power plants and substations at GRUPO INDEL S.A.S, and UAV configuration and improvements at SENSETAS.A.S. I hold an Electronic Engineering degree from UNIVERSIDAD DISTRITAL FRANSISCO JOSE DE CALDAS and completed training in project management and autonomous navigation for flying robots.
