About

Water scarcity, floods, and climate-driven hydrological extremes are no longer distant risks — they are active threats to infrastructure, public health, and economic stability across Latin America and beyond. I help governments, international organizations, and engineering firms make better decisions about water. Whether that means designing smarter water management strategies, building data-driven early warning systems, conducting technical studies for infrastructure investment, or strengthening the technical capacity of water institutions — I bring both scientific rigor and real-world policy experience to every engagement. As former Director General of Mexico’s National Water Technology Institute (IMTA) — appointed by the President of Mexico — I led national-scale programs at the intersection of water policy, technology, and climate resilience. Before that, I built and directed the Hydrological Observatory and Multivariate Drought Monitor at UNAM’s Institute of Engineering, tools now used to inform real decisions at a national level. My work spans hydroinformatics, flood and drought risk, smart water systems, coastal hydraulics, and hydrometeorological extremes. I’ve collaborated with institutions across Mexico, the UK, Nicaragua, Argentina, and Chile — and I hold an Honorary Assistant Professorship at Swansea University. I work with: → Government ministries and public water agencies seeking evidence-based strategy → International development organizations (World Bank, IDB, UN) requiring technical expertise for water-related projects → Engineering and infrastructure firms needing specialized hydrological and hydraulic analysis If you’re facing a water-related challenge that requires both scientific depth and policy-level judgment, let’s talk.
