I am a consultant, based in Seville (Spain), with more than 30 years experience working for private organizations and public administrations in the areas of Data Science, GIS and Environment.
Since the end of 2016 I offer my professional services through my company, ASTERIONAT.
Previously I worked for 15 years in an engineering company, TYPSA, as Head of the Department of Territorial Information, another 12 years as a partner and Technical Director in an environmental consulting, Biocora Consultores. I have also worked as fellow, three years, in the Institute of Statistics of Andalusia and in the Department of Ecology of the University of Seville.
Throughout my professional career I have made more than 150 projects in very diverse subjects. Among them are especially significant for me, those related to: the maps of land cover and derivates of Andalusia, the environmental impact of the A381 highway, the information trataiment for hydrological planning in Guadiana and Guadalquivir basins, and the GIS and SDI (Spatial Data Infrastructure) developments for water management, project management and the environment.
