I help companies design and implement scalable Industrial IoT and AI architectures that connect devices, data platforms, and operational systems into reliable, production-ready ecosystems. I specialize in building modern Industry 4.0 infrastructures using technologies such as MQTT, Unified Namespace (UNS), LoRaWAN, and real-time data architectures, ensuring that solutions are not only functional but scalable, maintainable, and ready for long-term evolution. With more than 20 years of experience working across industrial environments, automation systems, and data-driven technologies, I focus on helping organizations avoid common failures that occur when IoT and AI projects move from pilot to production. What I Do I design and implement architectures that allow industrial data to flow reliably from sensors and edge devices to analytics, AI models, and business decision systems. My work bridges OT and IT environments, enabling companies to unlock the full value of Industry 4.0 initiatives.

My Approach My methodology combines technical execution with strategic architecture design. Every solution I design aims to be: ✔ Scalable from pilot to enterprise deployment ✔ Platform and vendor independent ✔ Designed for long-term maintainability ✔ AI-ready and data-driven ✔ Aligned with real operational workflows I focus strongly on reducing technical debt and preventing costly redesigns later in the lifecycle of Industry 4.0 projects. Industries I Work With Manufacturing & Smart Factories Energy & Utilities Smart Cities & Infrastructure Environmental Monitoring Logistics & Supply Chain Industrial Automation How I Work With Clients I support organizations at different stages of their digital transformation: • Early architecture design and strategy • Validation of existing IoT and AI solutions • Full solution design and implementation • Technical mentoring and team enablement • Long-term advisory and architecture governance I am comfortable working with both startups building new platforms and enterprise teams modernizing legacy industrial systems. Additional Background Beyond consulting, I actively contribute to the Industrial IoT ecosystem as: • University professor teaching IoT and AI technologies • Author of The Practical IoT Handbook • Organizer of The Things Conference Argentina These roles allow me to stay continuously aligned with emerging technologies and real-world industrial challenges.
