I am a Chemical Engineer with a Master’s in Energy, specialized in Energy Efficiency and Hydrogen Technologies. With over a decade of professional experience, I have built a career that spans from Oil & Gas operations to technical project management in the renewable hydrogen sector.

Since 2023, I serve as a Technical Project Manager at CIDAUT, leading R&D projects in hydrogen and renewable gases. I manage multidisciplinary teams, contribute to Hydrogen Europe Research, and play a key role in drafting European funding proposals. My work includes the technical coordination of consortia, decision-making in complex environments, and staying at the forefront of hydrogen innovation.

Previously, I worked as a Production Engineer at MEGA S.A., where I led energy efficiency initiatives, achieving a 66% reduction in energy consumption in key systems—earning national recognition. My engineering background also includes over four years at YPF in unconventional drilling, where I held leadership roles in field operations and data-driven performance optimization.

My professional strengths include process optimization, project execution under uncertainty, and a proactive approach to innovation. I’m passionate about bridging field knowledge with technical strategy, and I consistently aim to create collaborative, respectful, and results-oriented environments.
