I combine technical knowledge, analytical skills, and project management to deliver innovative and functional results

Portfolio

Experience

Design Manager Sánchez Brothers Foundry · Full-time Jan 2024 – Present 1 yrs 11 mos Tunja, Boyaca, Colombia As Design Manager at a foundry company, I oversee the development of mechanical components manufactured through casting processes for industrial, agricultural, pharmaceutical, and mining sectors. I lead all design phases—from conceptualization to detailed engineering—including sand and investment mold design, core casting systems, and post-casting machining programming to ensure dimensional accuracy.

I manage material selection (ferrous/non-ferrous) and optimize complementary metal-mechanical processes such as welding, sheet metal forming, and 3D printing for rapid prototyping. Additionally, I coordinate the entire supply chain, analyzing production costs and enhancing project profitability without compromising quality.

As head of the projects department, I supervise every stage: conceptual engineering, detailed design, assembly, and commissioning, ensuring operational efficiency and on-time delivery. My integrated approach combines technical innovation with strategic management, aligning the company’s capabilities with client-specific needs to deliver turnkey solutions.
project engineer self-employed · Self-employed Jul 2023 – Dec 2023 5 mos Sogamoso, Boyaca, Colombia I managed the installation, alignment, and commissioning of a pendular vertical mill, including its pneumatic feeding system, designed to ensure continuous and efficient material flow. I engineered critical components for the classification system, such as rotary valves, screw feeders, hoppers, and dust collectors, enhancing mill performance and reducing material waste. Precision alignment of motors, gear reducers, and drive shafts was conducted to minimize vibrations and ensure long-term operational stability. Additionally, I deployed an environmental control system with baghouse filters, complying with emissions standards and ensuring workplace safety. This project demanded close coordination with engineers, manufacturers, and end clients to deliver a turnkey, high-efficiency solution
Mining maintenance engineer Self-Employed · Self-employed Jan 2023 – Jul 2023 6 mos Sogamoso, Boyaca, Colombia As a freelance contractor, I provided specialized maintenance services for a mining company, focusing on the operational reliability of an iron ore processing plant. I performed corrective and predictive maintenance on critical equipment, including vertical mills, hammer mills, gas dryers, conveyor belts, thermal reactors, ventilation systems, and centrifugal/axial pumps. My responsibilities involved troubleshooting mechanical failures, component alignment, replacement of worn parts, and system calibration to ensure energy efficiency and uninterrupted production. I introduced preventive inspection protocols that minimized unplanned downtime and extended equipment lifespan—all while adhering to strict safety and mining industry standards
maintenance manager assistant Green Magnetita SAS · Full-time Jan 2016 – Jan 2019 3 yrs Sogamoso, Boyaca, Colombia Production Manager, I oversaw and optimized production processes within the company’s mining division, ensuring operational efficiency and strict adherence to quality standards. I led cross-functional teams, coordinating design, maintenance, and quality control activities to maximize equipment uptime and performance. I implemented strategies to minimize downtime, enhance predictive and preventive maintenance planning, and boost productivity through process optimization. Additionally, I worked closely with engineering and operations teams to align technical designs with production needs, prioritizing safety, cost reduction, and continuous improvement
CNC Machine Operator Green Magnetitia · Full-time Jan 2014 – Jan 2016 2 yrs Sogamoso, Boyaca, Colombia In this role, I specialized in the manufacturing of metal-mechanical parts using CNC machine tools, including both milling machines and lathes. I was responsible for programming CNC machines and generating toolpaths in Mastercam and Autodesk Inventor, ensuring precise and efficient production. With hands-on experience operating CNC and conventional lathes, I maintained strict adherence to technical specifications while optimizing machining processes to reduce cycle times and material waste. Over the course of my tenure, I successfully executed over 300 projects, handling production batches ranging from 10 to 500 units per order—consistently meeting quality standards and delivery deadlines. Additionally, I performed machine setup, tool calibration, and quality inspections to guarantee the accuracy and reliability of each component produced.

Education

Pedagogical and Technological University of Colombia (UPTC) engineer, Industrial / Product Design, Engineer Industrial 2016 – 2022 Responsible, dynamic, and proactive industrial engineer with the ability to adapt to change. I have skills in the design and modeling of mechanical elements, modeling and manufacturing of mechanical parts using casting processes, machine maintenance, and production process management.
SENA Diseñador Industrial. cad/cam, Mecahanical, Mechanical Designer and CNC Programmer 2012 – 2014 I am a skilled professional specialized in designing, programming, and manufacturing mechanical components using CAD/CAM software (such as Autodesk Inventor, SolidWorks, and Mastercam) and CNC machine tools (lathes and milling machines). My expertise covers technical design of industrial parts for automotive, mining, agricultural, and energy sectors, optimizing CNC machining processes through cutting parameters, toolpath strategies, and cycle time reduction while ensuring dimensional accuracy and surface quality. I manage the full production workflow—from blueprint interpretation to final finishing—applying knowledge of metals (steels, non-ferrous alloys), geometric tolerances, and chip-removal processes. My approach combines technical precision (machining simulation, metrology) with industrial efficiency, ensuring designs are manufacturable, functional, and cost-effective, while maintaining CNC equipment performance through predictive maintenance.

Other experience

Design and manufacture of conveyor belts I have developed the design and manufacture of low-capacity conveyor belts for mineral processing plants, especially for the coal sector. I have designed and manufactured everything from the structural part to the head and tail rollers, including the loading stations.
