About me

Discover my background and professional approach

Drilling engineer with an integral focus on design, real-time monitoring and operational optimization. Over 15 years in the Mexican oil industry, participating in strategic PEMEX projects.

Specialized in directional drilling, drillstring behavior analysis and technical proposal development. I integrate simulation, execution and field decision-making to deliver results that reduce risk and boost efficiency.

I have led trajectory optimization in complex settings, prevented stuck pipe and collisions, and improved BHA performance with real-time operational adjustments.
