About me...

¡Hola!

A bit more of me...

During the las 16+ years I have successfully ported, debugged, automated, and tested software for a wide variety of progamming languages, platforms, operating systems, industries, and customers, meeting their requirements and performance needs.

As the former EMEA Technical Lead, I have been onsite helping customers and mentored engineers to support them. I led the creation of a new team in Spain to support our EMEA customer base, improving our response time and customer satisfaction. I have worked closely with technical teams, hardware and software vendors, and partners across diverse domains, such as defense, energy, aerospace, finance, and transportation. I am passionate about solving complex technical problems and am always available to help.

I enjoy being close to hardware as well as the challenges of making software work on a new architecture.

What I do...

EMBEDDED, DEBUGGING, TESTING

Built tests to analize amd evaluate performance (throughput and latency), including partitioned OSes that follow standards such as ARINC 178.

PORTING software

Successfully ported and validated real-time middleware to a wide variety of platforms: Programming languages (C, C++, Java); Operating Systems (WindRiver VxWorks/653/5.x/6.x/7.x, WindRiver Linux, Lynx 178, QNX, IBM AIX, GreenHills Integrity, Real-Time Linux, Linux, Windows, Android and AOSP); for hardware architectures (ARM, PowerPC, MIPS, x86, x86-64, Sparc); for compilers (GNU GCC, DIAB and others);

TEAM LEADER

traveling around the world to fix urgent issues that required physical presence.

I have also been the Embedded Engineer Lead in charge of a full embedded lab with more than 80 different architectures.

build&test automation

Maintained build and test infrastructure for more tan 80 architecutes. Creator and owner VxWorks 653 in Perl, which requires knowledge of how partition OS work, the use of templates and Perl language. Automated also the build and test for generic VxWorks and other OSs.

Creator and owner of Python automation for build an test infrastructure for Android and AOSP.

Customer support

Helped dozens of customers with hundreds of Support cases. These cases required not only expertise in-house software but creativity as to how to reproduce complex real-time issues that where only happening once the final application was deployed in a real scenario and not during development. Often it required scalations, calls and eve on-site support.

Proud to be a founding member of an offical Support team, where I mentor and saw it grow to two digit size unthinkable at the start.

SOFTWARE DELIVERY, SYSADMIN AND DEVOPS

Worked as a sysAdmin to setup and configure networking, such as vietual LANs, network speed, OS uning for performance testing, etc

Worked as a DevOps engineer, providing help for crucial infrastructure such as Ansible, Artifactory, Doozer, Cmake, OpenStack, between others.

Recommendations

I have had the honor and pleasure of working with Victor for over 5 years. While working as a support and consulting engineer, he was able to establish a relationship with customers based on trust and respect. Not only was he able to resolve critical issues; he did so across languages and cultures, traveling to South Korea and other countries and working at customer sites. Victor's technical capabilities are superb as well as the more difficult to achieve ability to discern fact from opinion or conjecture in order to understand the true nature of a problem and not trying to fix what was not really broken.

He carefully debugged and fixed the tests, so we now have tests that work consistently on that OS. He's the kind of engineer who will do the right thing, rather than leaving later engineers with a problem.

Victor is an excellent engineer who is driven to produce nothing but incredibly useful software for our customers. He has provided fantastic support whenever we in the field would need help for customers using RTI DDS. Victor is truly an asset to any software development team.
