Resumen profesional

Electrical Engineer graduated from the Public University of Navarra, specializing in technical management, operations and maintenance (O&M) direction, and commissioning of international renewable energy projects (utility-scale solar PV and onshore/offshore wind). Possessing an professional level of English and a proven track record across demanding markets such as the United States, Germany, Egypt, and France, I excel as a transnational technical liaison-ensuring strict compliance with complex grid codes (NEC, IEEE) and leading field engineering execution. Specialist in predictive diagnostics, harmonic analysis, heavy component engineering, and high-voltage safety protocols (LOTO), consistently focused on optimizing operational performance ratios (PR) and minimizing mean time to repair (MTTR).
