I am an Electronic Engineer who graduated from the Buenos Aires Institute of Technology — ITBA, in 1986. My professional career has developed in areas related to applied electronics, information systems, automation, systems auditing, technology project management, and technical education, across different institutional, educational, and social contexts.

At the Playa Unión Photobiology Station, I collaborate on technical tasks related to instrumentation, data acquisition, automation, and remote monitoring of environmental and radiometric systems. My work focuses on the maintenance and improvement of equipment, sensors, embedded systems, databases, and mechanisms for publishing or reporting information.

I also participate in technological liaison, institutional coordination, and the development of applied solutions. My current interests focus on the use of low-cost technologies for environmental monitoring, particularly LoRa communications, distributed sensors, and data acquisition systems applied to coastal environments.
