IT Coordinator
2002 — 2023 Grupo Inversiones LER · Medellín
Owned the group's technology for two decades: the hotels and the administrative offices across all its sites, running under centralised management.
Software
- Integrated the corporate network so the lodging-management software across the company's sites could be run centrally.
- Deployed the corporate toolset — document management, LDAP, file servers, QoS and firewall — on Linux (Debian) servers, as the backbone of the administrative offices' day-to-day operation.
- Sustained 99.99% availability across the systems running the 24/7 hotel operation, underpinned by formal backup policies, a disaster-recovery plan and information-security controls.
Hardware
- Built and ran the centralised CCTV system covering every site, with over 350 cameras in operation.
- Built and ran the SDN-style Wi-Fi networks providing wireless coverage across the group's hotels, on UniFi, MikroTik CAPsMAN and Omada equipment.
- Sourced, administered and maintained a fleet of around 100 staff workstations — mostly Windows, some macOS — underpinning the company's day-to-day office work.

IT Help Desk Coordinator
1999 — 2002 CORANTIOQUIA (through COMPUAMIGOS) · Medellín
Ran the IT help desk for the regional authority responsible for environmental management across central Antioquia — headquarters in Medellín, field offices throughout the department — and took part in the infrastructure projects that connected its network.
- Pioneering rollout of a VPN linking headquarters with every regional office of the authority across Antioquia, over microwave links.
- Deployment of corporate links on the leading-edge technologies of the day: Frame Relay, ISDN and ATM.
- Rollout of then-emerging Wi-Fi across local and regional offices, cutting laptops loose from the cable and transforming mobile access to the LAN, the intranet and the internet.
- The resulting infrastructure placed the authority among the most technologically advanced and best-run regional bodies in the country.
