10+ years modeling climate risk in Python, running remote sensing on Google Earth Engine, and building environmental-intelligence web platforms for government, business and international cooperation (USAID, European Union, GIZ, TNC).
Environmental Engineer and Master in Ecology with over a decade leading strategic climate-change adaptation and mitigation projects for government, private companies and international cooperation agencies.
I design and implement, in Python, remote-sensing and machine-learning pipelines, ecosystem-services models (InVEST), GIS and environmental-intelligence web platforms. As Executive Director of Corporación Cúspide, I conceived and built an in-house ecosystem of nine public digital products —four observatories and five platforms— on Google Earth Engine, FastAPI, React and AI.
My work goes from data to decision instrument: hazard–vulnerability–exposure risk matrices, web geoviewers, GHG inventories and spatial investment targeting, applied to climate risk, biodiversity, air quality, public health, water and low-carbon economy.
I complement practice with university teaching: I teach Low-Carbon Rural Development in the Master's in Climate Change at Universidad Sergio Arboleda and have trained 3,000+ professionals.
Nine public platforms I conceived and built. All live — go in and try them.
A 5-module GEE pipeline (NDVI, precipitation/SPI, temperature, fires/FIRMS, water quality), SAR Sentinel-1 flood detection, Nevado del Huila glacier retreat, automated monthly updates and AI interpretation.
View live →GBIF data with DOI (10.15468/dl.yfuupx), iNaturalist and IUCN Red List; choropleth explorer per municipality with PDF sheets; species distribution models (MaxEnt) served as XYZ tiles.
View live →Telemetry platform (FastAPI + MariaDB + React) with a NowCast index mapped to Colombia's ICA and EPA, plus a satellite pollutant layer.
View live →Dengue–El Niño analysis (NB-GLM model, correlated with the ONI index) and altitudinal transmission gradient, articulated with the climate observatory.
View live →GEE → InVEST pilot for Neiva's water-supply basin (28,106 ha): water yield (Annual Water Yield calibrated to 6.72 m³/s) and sediments (SDR), with restoration prioritization per village and cocoa/coffee targeting (UPRA land suitability).
View live →A carbon-footprint agent compliant with ISO 14064-1 and a RAG system for emission-factor lookup (DEFRA/EPA) with exact source citation.
Internal developmentCarbon footprint / GHG inventory calculation with server-side scoring and proprietary methodology.
Open →Climate risk and vulnerability self-assessment for organizations.
Open →Circular-economy diagnosis and measure planning for municipalities and companies.
Open →Assessment of climate-change adaptation measures with a territorial approach.
Open →Python design and implementation of the quantitative climate-risk methodology for 50+ assets and infrastructure: hazard, vulnerability and exposure indicators; ETL scripts; matrices by asset type and scenario (historical, El Niño/La Niña, IPCC SSP projections).
Climate-data processing architecture and web geoviewer for monitoring adaptation portfolios of the Colombian industrial sector, within the MinCIT–European Union business-adaptation programme.
Hazard, vulnerability and climate-risk analysis in the Bogotá River basin with Ecosystem-based (EbA), Community-based (CbA) and Nature-based Solutions (NbS) approaches.
Strategic direction of an environmental-intelligence organization with nine public digital products, linked to public, private and international-cooperation clients.
Interdisciplinary coordination (up to 8 professionals) and development of the National Methodological Guide for environmental impact assessment of response measures, with the Ministry of Environment.
Quantitative climate-risk methodology in Python for Ecopetrol's assets and infrastructure.
GHG calculator and circular-economy measures for Cali and Cartagena; gender-sensitive and just-transition content.
Coordination of the NbS innovation and research cluster: project formulation, funding opportunities and regional articulation.
Technical evaluation of climate commitments and monitoring reports for projects subject to environmental licensing (energy and infrastructure).
Hazard, vulnerability and climate risk in the Bogotá River basin and design of adaptation measures (EbA, CbA, NbS).
Sustainability and resilience strategies for the industrial sector; GIS and web Observatory (geoviewer) of adaptation portfolios.
Management-plan updates (DRMI Cerro Banderas Ojo Blanco and PNR Serranía de Minas) with indigenous prior-consultation processes.
Integration of climate criteria into land-use instruments (POT, PBOT, EOT) across 37 municipalities; led the Departmental Climate Change Council.
Continuous environmental-sector track record since 2005 (Fundación Natura–USAID, Huila Government, oil & gas HSEQ, road consultancy).
Consulting, teaching, international cooperation or environmental-intelligence platform development.
