He was in charge of the design activities related with pressure vessels manufactured by Idesa, including complete Code calculation, lifting analysis, seismic/wind design as well as shipping calculation. He can also do the thermal design of heat exchangers using HTRI / HTFS software.

He has a lot of experience in Coke Drum design, mainly in the cracking and bulging effects, being in charge of the implementation of the FEA method for the cone-skirt joint fatigue analysis.

He is also well experienced in FCC and FCK unit design because of his involvement in the mechanical design for several FCC projects and for the two large FCK projects manufactured by Idesa.During 2015 & 2016 he took part in the Idesa team that got the ASME Nuclear Stamps N & NPT for the manufacturing of pressure vessels for the nuclear industry.

In August 2017 he started to provide technical support to the Sales department.
