I am Colombian with passion for social impact. I believe that change starts at the individual, community, local and then global level. I have set my goal in making a better experience to whatever challenges I encounter and monetary systems and governance models is what concerns me at the time.

In my path to understanding and reflecting about these issues I have found my way through “Reflexive Modeling”. Models are just limited abstractions of reality and is part of our job as researchers to dig in the stories behind our models and learn to engage in a dialogue between both worlds.

I am a computational archaeologist and Professor of Anthropology at San Diego State University, where I direct the Computational Archaeology Laboratory. My research integrates geospatial analysis, agent-based and simulation modeling, and complex adaptive systems theory to investigate long-term human–environment interactions, with particular attention to socio-environmental change associated with early farming and herding in Mediterranean and other semi-arid landscapes. I have conducted field and modeling research in regions including Italy, Jordan, and Central Asia, and my work spans landscape archaeology, land-use dynamics, and environmental modeling. I have been a member of the CoMSES community for well over a decade and have contributed multiple models to the Computational Model Library, several of which have undergone formal peer review. In addition to research, I regularly teach with agent-based models at undergraduate and graduate levels and use CoMSES models as both research and pedagogical resources. I am committed to open, reproducible, and theoretically informed computational modeling and to strengthening the role of peer-reviewed models as durable scholarly contributions.

I am a FullStack Developer & GIS Specialist with a proven track record in developing GIS-driven software solutions, urban planning tools, and spatial analysis platforms. With expertise in technologies, I combine technical skills with leadership to deliver impactful projects that bridge technology and geospatial innovation.

I am a senior lecturer teaching integrated water resources management and leadership courses at the department of Agricultural Engineering of University of Dschang and University of Ebolowa,Cameroon as well; holding a PhD in Applied development Sciences.

I’m a university professor who works on projects relating to humanely managing wildlife and street dog populations both in Ohio and internationally with a special focus on disease. I also enjoy using novel hardware and software to solve problems in biology.
