With 11 years of experience in the organization, his work is dedicated to preventive and corrective maintenance of the antennas. “This year I have had the honor of being elected as captain of the brigade, which adds an additional responsibility to my role,” he says, who also works in the Cryogenics area related to the high-tech cooling systems used at ALMA.
Reading: Although I am not inclined to traditional reading, I greatly value learning through the knowledge of others, such as my partner Guillermina Ponce, my supervisor Fabiola Cruzat and Gerardo Gomez from Safety.
Watch: Tears of the Sun, Contact, Arrival, The Martian, Interstellar, Armageddon, Fast and Furious and The Big Blue (excellent, because I like diving). In series: Chicago Fire, Shooter, CSI, Criminal Minds.
Listening: My taste is quite varied, ranging from cumbia to classics. I enjoy a wide variety of genres, including Christian music as well.
Eating: The casserole, both chicken and beef. Another of my favorites is fried fish and ceviche.
Drinking: It varies according to the occasion and the moment. Among my preferences, piscola on the rocks and craft beers stand out. However, there is one principle I always keep: if I drive, I don’t drink alcohol.
Follow / Admire: My mother Jessica. She left this world due to a tragic car accident when I was just 13 years old. I remember seeing her face each day with strength, despite the difficulties; her tears and her tireless work on the job are images that have remained engraved in my heart. My older sisters, Ingrid and Evelyn, became a beacon of light and hope. What I am now, I owe in large part to them.
Think / Believe: I consider fundamental the importance of being honest and transparent. I apply this sincerity in all aspects of my life, both at work and in my personal life. I consider it essential to maintain this integrity, especially when it comes to raising my children.
Do / Practice: My life is marked by a deep passion for sports and an innate curiosity for the art of photography. Soccer has always been my companion, although now, with a knee that only works at 50%. Tennis, on the other hand, is a dance of agility and strategy. Bicycling offers me unparalleled freedom. Scuba diving, particularly freediving, is a literal immersion into a different world. Underwater, time and noise stop.
Dress: While I keep up with current trends I prefer quality and style over the name on the label. This simplicity in dress, however, contrasts with a particular fondness for perfumes.
Travel: The journey that transformed my life was my joining ALMA. I would love to explore more radio telescopes around the world. It would be an exceptional way to combine my passion for astronomy with my love of photography.
Un grande Juanca!! Lindos mensajes, y felicidades nuevamente!
