Summary

Geodesist Engineer with  two years of stuides finished of Master in Hydrocarbon E&P Data Managemen with over 13 years of experience in the areas of modern satellite geodesy, physical geodesy, marine geodesy, cartography, remote sensing satellite, Geographic Information System GIS and Geomatics. Since 2007 I work for Petroleos of Venezuela SA where I have used data from remote sensing and GIS to support oil & gas business projects on land and sea in the in Venezuela as well its internationals projects for countries like Cuba, Argentina, Bolivia, Ecuador and Jamaica, I have taken specialized courses in the areas of spectroscopy and hyperspectral imaging, Digital Image Processing, Radar interferometry, generation of digital elevation models, geomatics, Digital Cartography and GIS. Inter-institutional work for the activities carried out by the Government of the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela in the peaceful use of outer space, working directly in the China-Venezuela international technical committee for the Venezuelan Earth Observation Projects Miranda -VRSS- 1 and Sucre VRSS-2. Author and co-author of scientific papers from 2004 to 2015 in scientific journals such as Journal of Geodesy, Interciencia, Geodesy International Congress IAG and Geomatcis National Congress. Teaching activities as Facilitator 2012-2016 in the Diploma "Geomatics Applied to the Integral Management of Hydrocarbon Spills". Editor of the Digital Publication on Geomatics in Venezuela and the World 2012-2016 http://geomailblog.wordpress.com/
