EXPERIENCE:

Professional specialized - January 2014 to Present

National Spectrum Agency (ANE), Bogotá D.C. COL

• Led development of a technical, economic and legal study to modernize the satellite regime with the ICT Ministry of Colombia in accordance with the new space technologies and the rural connectivity needs (Resolution 376 of 2022)
• Developed a technical study to maximize radioelectric use, facilitate access to new actors in the digital ecosystem and promote connectivity in remote areas, in order to seek social benefits and promote bridging the digital divide in Colombia and digital economy transformation
• Developed a technical study to analyze the implementation of flexible spectrum access mechanisms in Colombia: spectrum sharing, spectrum trading and leasing. 
• Led development of a technical and economic study to update the spectrum fees policy with the ICT Ministry (Resolution 2734 of 2019)
• Designed the methodology and structure of the web system to measure non-ionizing radiation in Colombia. Supported in the issuance of recommendation ITU-T K.113 to generate electromagnetic field maps
• Supervised and made spectrum monitoring, analyzed and processed measurements of radio interference detection, radio direction finding and identification of illegal signals emissions.

Support Engineer for TIGO-Millicom (Mobile Network Operator) - April 2012 to January 2014, Línea Comunicaciones, Colombia

• Managed and centralized the technical information of microwave links network for mobile operator TIGO.
• Analyzed the performance indicators (KPIs) of the data transmission network of mobile operator TIGO

Research projects coordinator - February 2009 to April 2012

RadioGIS research group – Universidad Industrial de Santander

• Led the applied a research project on measurement of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation as a telecommunication service. Developed a geo-referencing system to measure electromagnetic fields (drivetest), data transfer to the central web server (database), analyze and process data to generate radiation maps (geoportal)
• Formulated, planned and executed the project on analysis and assessment of non-ionizing electromagnetic radiation levels at Bucaramanga city. Generated the first radiation map of a city in Colombia, the teamwork measured more than six hundred points using the system.
• Led, formulated, planned and executed the applied research project on location-based telecommunication service to measure online the radioelectric spectrum. Developed a georeferencing web platform to measure the radioelectric spectrum (fixed and mobile), remote control of instruments, data transfer to the central web server (database), analyze and process data, and on-line search previous measurement.
• Formulated and planned a project on radioelectric spectrum management of cellular mobile telephony as a telecommunication service. The project objective was to implement a web system to simulate radio propagation in cellular network
