# the short version

From keeping a university online to shipping product software.

I am a computer engineer with a master's degree. For sixteen years at the University of Holguín I ran the ICT department, advised the rector on technology, led information security, and taught networking and programming — often on the international stage, representing the university in the Flemish VLIR-UOS cooperation programme and training at Ghent University.

Since December 2021 I have been a software engineer at BodyLogicMD in Houston, working across Microsoft Dynamics 365, the Power Platform, C# and Azure — building CRM integrations and automations, and cutting storage cost along the way.
