Present ↑ 2017	IDG Direct, Ireland Business Development Executive This is a pre-sales role. I represent IDG services by making professional outgoing calls to prospective clients. I have to establish and maintain a professional conversation with IT Managers to identify their needs and next investments. The gathered information is required from our clients (Largest Tech Companies) and used in the next step of the sales process. My responsibilities include: Lead Generations, Gathering client details and Maintaining/Updating IDG database with accurate client details. I work in different markets and contact clients in French, English and Spanish: France, Belgium, Luxembourg, Spain, Middle East and Africa. In this position, I have improved my communication skills in French and English. I have learned how to build and maintain a professional relationship with clients and improved my Active Listening Skills. At IDG, I have completed a Certified Sales training. This course addressed the most important aspects of the sales process.
2014	WikiVox, France Web Programmer I was responsible for the installation and administration of a Wiki Web Application based on the MediaWiki engine. Extensive experience with the MediaWiki Engine: Configuration of a Multilingual Wiki. User access levels configuration. Implementation of different CAPTCHA methods. Implementation of a payment gateway. Page categorization. Take a look at my personal Wiki: http://wiki.sinfronteras.ws Administration of a Linux Server: Installation and configuration of a LAMP stack: Apache, MySQL, PHP. Database management: MySQL, PhpMyAdmin. Expand hidden content WikiVox is a nonprofit organization whose goal is to create a website (a wiki) for the debate of social and political problems. They want to create a discussion method capable to generate, at some point in the debate, an article with precise suggestions, in order to contribute to the solution to the problem. It was a very nice experience. I liked very much the philosophy of the project. and I think that working in a small organization was positive at this point in my career Because I had responsibilities that I am sure I would not have had in a big company; that's why I think that I learned a lot from them. And my technical work was to design the website. For this, we used free software (Wikipedia Software). So, specifically, I had to administrate a Linux Web server (to create a database, to install programs). I had to program in PHP. I had to install and configure many extensions to meet the requirements of the project: We had to install a LanguageSelector and translate the content into 5 languages: French, English, Spanish, German and Arabic. We had to install an extension to make donations (I mean to pay online). The payment gateway for implementing a donation service. An extension to categorize pages. An extension to uploading files. And many others.
2012 ↑ 2011	Simón Bolívar University - Funindes USB, Venezuela Research geophysicist of the Parallel and Distributed Systems Group (GRyDs) Click here to see some examples of my work in Seismic modelling. As a Research Geophysicist, I was responsible for performing a set of signal analysis (seismic processing) tasks and ensuring the correct integration and implementation of geophysical applications into a computer cluster platform. This platform was being designed in order to facilitate task scheduling and run computation-intensive tasks on clusters. One of my main activities was shell script programming for Seismic Modeling and Processing. My responsibilities include: Shell script / MATLAB programming for signal analysis (seismic data processing and modeling). Simulations of seismic waves propagation: Wavefront and ray tracing. Generation of pre-stacked synthetic seismic data using wave propagation theories (raytracing and finite difference methods). 2D/3D Seismic data processing: Deconvolution Auto-correlation, Cross-correlation Analysis of signal noise reduction: time/frequency domain transforms Task automation using Shell scripting.
2011 ↑ 2010	CGGVeritas, Venezuela Seismic data processing analyst Demultiplexing, Reformatting (SEG -Y/SEG -D). Seismic data edition: Searchin for noisy, monofrequency and incorrect polarities traces. Geometrical spreading correction. Set-up of field geometry. Geometry QC. Application of field statics corrections, Deconvolution, trace balancing. CMP sorting, Velocity analysis, Residual statics corrections. NMO Correction, Muting, Stacking, Filtering. Filtering: Time-variant, band-pass. Post-stack/Pre-stack time and depth migration.
2010 ↑ 2008	Simón Bolívar University, Venezuela Academic Assistant - Earth Sciences Department As a Academic Assistant, I was in charge of collaborating with the lecture by teaching some modules of the Geophysical Engineering program at Simón Bolívar University. I was usually in charge of a group between 20 and 30 students during theoretical and practical activities. This experience has contributed to my professional development in two major areas: By teaching modules, I have solidified many technical geophysical knowledge. I have also developed communication and presentation skills, as well as the leadership strategies needed to manage a group of students and to transfer knowledge effectively. Courses taught: Seismic data processing: Concepts of discrete signal analysis, sampling, aliasing and discrete Fourier transform. Conventional seismic data processing sequence. Seismic methods: The convolutional model of the seismic trace. Propagation and attenuation of seismic waves. Interpretation of seismic sections. Seismic reservoir characterization: Relations between the acoustic impedance and the petrophysical parameters. Well-Seismic Ties. Seismic inversion and AVO.
