Personal Information Birth date: April 23rd, 1976 Nationality: Chilean Languages: Spanish, English Summary of Qualifications Software Engineer, with advanced knowledge in software development and object oriented design, especially in Java and C++. Experience in middleware infrastructure for distributed systems, especially in astronomical environments. In addition, experience as System and Network Administrator, and IT Specialist in the Enterprise area and academic experience at the University Federico Santa María and the Chilean Navy. Education Master degree in Computer Science Specialization in distributed computing and evolutionary algorithms Thesis: A multi-population evolutionary algorithm for solving hard constraint satisfaction problems. Evaluation Committee: PhD. Horst von Brand (Chile), PhD. María Cristina Riff (Chile) and PhD. Xavier Bonnaire (France) Awarded with the Research Department Grant of the Postgraduate department, at the University Federico Santa María Awarded with the Academic Merit Fellowship to continue studies to achieve a Master degree Software Engineer Awarded with the distinction Federico Santa María to the best student of the class of B.S in Computer Science Professional Experience Overview Gemini Observatory La Serena, Chile 2009 Present. Gemini South Software Group Leader. Additional capacity to the software engineering duties. Supervises Gemini South Software employees in establishing priorities and providing guidance to achieve planned results. Participates in the strategic and operational observatory planning process. Manages software development projects to meet observatory needs Present. Senior Software Engineer/Gemini Instrumentation Program Software Engineer Responsible for the software interface between the Gemini Planet Imager and the

2 Observatory Control System Assists to define software strategies and requirements for new instruments Assists instrument teams software mangers and engineers to ensure that software being developed for new Gemini instruments meets Gemini requirements. Design, implementation and testing of the Gemini Instrumentation Application Programmer Interface, allowing new Gemini instruments to interface with the Observatory Control Systems. Technologies used: Java, OSGi, JMS, C++, Junit, Cppunit, log4cxx Software Engineer. Development and maintenance of Software Tools for observation planning and preparation, in particular the Phase 1 Tool (PIT), the Observing Tool (OT) and the Observing Database (ODB). Java and XML are the main technologies used. Work done both on infrastructure and user interfaces. Principal programmer and support contact for Phase 1 to Phase 2 process. In charge of the software tools that provide support to the proposals technical assessment leading to the generation of the programs to be observed every semester in the observatory. Main technologies used for these tools are Java, XML and Perl. Work in the design and development of middleware software to integrate the new generation of Gemini Instruments into the Observatory. C++ and Java (JMS) are the principal technologies in use for this project. Gemini South support for the Sequence Executor (Part of the Observing Control Tools). This is a TCL/TK application that provides the interface between high-level applications (like the Observing Tool) and real time subsystems like the instruments and the TCS. Provided support to the Real Time Systems group: Worked in the maintenance of the A&G Sequencer subsystem (this is an EPICS system). Added support for new Gemini instruments Design and development of a web and database tools to present information about image quality. These interfaces tools are used for night operation in the telescope. Also, developed several interfaces to integrate external systems with the EPICS infrastructure. Most of these tasks were done using scripting languages like Perl and Python. SISDEF Ltda. Viña del Mar and Quintero, Chile Head of the Information Technology Area Assumed as an additional responsibility to the Software Engineer duties. In charge of the company technology infrastructure. Responsible of the design, implantation and exploitation of SISDEF IT infrastructure. In charge of coordinating the help desk support to final users (acting as the leader of the SISDEF support team). Management of subcontracts between SISDEF and the providers of IT products and services, including specific subcontracts for development of management systems. Management of the IT Budget (US$ in 2002, US$ in 2003), detecting and coordinating the needs of the different areas of the Company.
