Career and history

Throughout my career at Saint Gobain ADFORS, I have progressively advanced through various roles, showcasing my technical expertise and commitment to digital transformation in manufacturing.

As a Software Developer Jr, I laid the foundation for my technical skills by focusing on mobile development and .NET programming for Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES). I successfully designed and implemented a standard data collection tool for OT devices, ensuring seamless communication through OPC-UA, which enhanced operational resilience.

In my role as Digital Projects Coordinator, I expanded my scope by evaluating and applying emerging technologies to optimize production processes. I managed software development projects across Europe and Mexico, coordinated multidisciplinary teams, and integrated Azure with ERP and MES systems. My involvement in a Data Science project allowed me to leverage data analytics to drive continuous improvement initiatives.

Currently, as a Digital Manufacturing Leader, I am responsible for the digitalization and design of a standard Digital Manufacturing solution for +10 factories across Europe and America. I lead the transition of technical teams to Ignition, defining coding, data, and user experience guidelines. My focus on fostering a digital culture and aligning initiatives with organizational goals underscores my evolution as a technology leader committed to driving efficiency and innovation in manufacturing operations.
