Approach, formulation and management of research, innovation and technological development projects in the areas of: Energy efficiency, Renewable energy, Electrical distribution systems, Energy utilization systems, Distributed generation, among others related to the Energy sector. Preparation of project execution reports, and solution to conflicts.

Management of industrial refrigeration, metal structures and piping projects: development of budgets and schedules, obtaining information, etc.

Management of purchases and transportation of assets, as well as the management of contracting and execution of services for medium and high voltage electrical projects: construction and expansion of electrical substations, installation of transmission lines, installation of cells and electrical panels, correcting mistakes in electrical distribution system, among others.

Management of purchases of goods and services for the maintenance of a coffee production plant. Logistics for medium voltage electrical connection projects, industrial warehouse projects, among others. Logistics for the plant's Environmental Management Plan.

Planning, formulation and management of energy projects: energy efficiency in agribusiness, refrigeration using photovoltaic solar energy, thermal solar dehydration, design and construction of biodigesters. Coordination with clients on the status of projects and, if necessary, solution to conflicts.

Planning, formulation and execution of innovation and technological development projects on Energy and Sustainable Development issues (renewable energies, energy efficiency, heat transfer). I have collaborated with research activities of the Energy Section of the Department of Mechanical-Electrical Engineering, and in various tasks: warehouse control, purchasing processes, equipment maintenance, preparation of reports. I have presented various publications at national and international engineering conferences.

I have collaborated in the preparation and teaching of classes, in addition, with the evaluation of exams in the undergraduate courses: Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics 1, Hydraulic Machines and Physics 2. I have participated in academic activities of the Energy Section of the Department of Mechanical-Electrical Engineering.

This master's program has given me new tools to understand the various energy markets, both national and international. Likewise, it has allowed me to strengthen my knowledge about the different existing energy technologies, as well as future ones. As a thesis project to obtain a Master's degree, I have analyzed the electricity market in the Lambayeque region (Peru) to determine the best commercial and economic conditions for the adequate integration of Distributed Generation.

This specialization program has allowed me to expand my knowledge in project financing, economic evaluation of projects, business valuation, accounting, which will be very useful for my professional life in the energy sector.

In the last years of my university studies I discovered my passion for topics related to energy management, the electricity market, renewable energies and energy efficiency. Likewise, I participated in several research projects about the aforementioned topics.

Diplomado enfocado a aspectos regulatorios y normativos de los sectores de Electricidad, Hidrocarburos Líquidos y Gas Natural. Asimismo, se analizaron políticas, planeamientos y aspectos de mercado en dichos sectores.

Cursos: políticas y normativas ambientales, auditorías ambientales, evaluación económica en temas ambientales, entre otros.
