Soy un entusiasta de la tecnología y me he dedicado a la enseñanza de las materias que me apasionan. Con más de 15 años de experiencia en diseño asistido por computador y un sólido conocimiento acerca del Modelado de Información de Edificaciones he compilado mucha de la experiencia adquirida a través de los años en cursos de capacitación útiles, fáciles de entender y prácticos para el día a día del diseñador.
Mis campos de acción incluyen CAD (Computer Aided Design), CAE (Computer Aided Engineering), FEA (Finite Element Analysis), BIM (Building Information Modeling), PM (Project Management). Y aunque me inicié con el estudio de la ingeniería civil, he explorado otras ramas de la ingeniería, participando en proyectos que incluyen la creación de modelos computaciones para la simulación de maquinaria para la extracción de petróleo, análisis no-lineal de cimentaciones especiales, diseño de piezas automotrices, estudio de estabilidad en túneles, entre otros tipo de proyectos.
Así mismo, he creado aplicaciones de software dirigido a la administración de procesos y al diseño asistido por computador. También soy programador web, especializándome en aplicaciones web .NET. Tengo experiencia programando en C#, Java, Python, C++, Foltran, JavaScript. Y en lenguajes de etiquetado como HTML5 y CCS3.
Como hobby he incursionado en la programación de autómatas programables (PLC) y en la programación en Assembler de micro-controladores.
En resumen, me encanta a prender y enseñar. Ese es realmente mi trabajo.
