Waste Management & Climate Change | Competitive & urban cyclist | Mexico City survivor | Humanist | Extremely critical |

I connect city governments around waste management issues with a focus on greenhouse gas emission reductions and enable them to identify solutions and accelerate implementation through city-to-city collaboration.

Armchair urbanist, I take an active role on developing communities for alternative transport and urban life.

Extremely opinionated. Passionate road cycling racer - climbing specialist.

I I have been involved in atmospheric pollution contintental behaviour research, designed solutions for oil transport hydraulic safety for pipelines, developed statistical and stochastical models to predict storms and river draining with a climate change component, and taught hydraulics to practicing oil engineers.

I like movies, pop music, being around people and exploring places around the world.
