Video Engineering Intern, 2022
I architected and explored the performance of a real-time image-degradation detection system, leveraging a 3D-CNN model and built an end-to-end data pipeline in Python (PyTorch + OpenCV) that curated, annotated, preprocessed, and augmented a large-scale video dataset.
Automation Engineer, 2020
I optimized testing procedures for critical control loops and Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) in a chemical plant, significantly boosting operational reliability. I also led HMI display upgrades—migrating from Simatic WinCC Step7 to ABB 800xA across multiple facilities—to modernize interfaces and improve system efficiency.
Founder and CEO, 2015
We developed a proprietary repair method for mechanical seals exposed to highly corrosive formation water, cutting client maintenance and repair costs by delivering effective seal refurbishments at a fraction of the price of new parts. Over eight years, I spearheaded all business functions - client acquisition, P&L management, technical service delivery, and strategic planning—to drive sustained growth and operational excellence.
Automation Engineer, 2013
I developed and deployed PLC and HMI applications across oil & gas facilities in Ecuador, California, and Texas, designing control logic from detailed philosophy documents and integrating equipment and sensors for real-time SCADA monitoring. I also collaborated on the migration of Safety Instrumented Systems (SIS) from legacy to modern PLC platforms to boost safety and reliability, and provided routine SCADA/HMI maintenance to ensure maximum uptime.
Project Coordinator, 2012
At the Esmeraldas Refinery in Ecuador, I led a critical hydrogen reciprocating compressor replacement project overseeing every phase from foundation work and mechanical parts procurement to sensor integration and operational readiness testing. I managed cross-functional teams against tight milestones and translated complex engineering manuals from English to Spanish to ensure accurate installation and safe, compliant operation.
