Hi, I'am
Carlos Colmenares A.

Electronic Engineer
Certified in USA by Computer Associates, Applied Data Research, Cisco, IBM, and Platzi (Vzla).
Specialized in Artificial Intelligence, and Software Engineering

More than 40 companies have hired me as a project engineer and sytem integrator to support them in the developing and implementing of complex technical projects involving software engineering for IBM mainframes, networking, and electronics security systems. Some of these companies are as prestigious as the National Registry of Costa Rica (San Jose, Costa Rica), Banco Invercredito (Bogota, Colombia), and PDVSA, Cargill, CANTV, CVG, Metro de Caracas, as well as thirteen (13) financial banks in Venezuela. Since the beginning, I have worked for over 25 years as a systems programmer and specialist for IBM's Mainframe technologies. After that phase ended, I focused on microwave telecommunications and electronic security systems, a field in which I have been working for over 20 years, developing large-scale projects. In my free time, I develop websites and software apps for PCs and smartphones. The following link shows my progress as a software developer... Portfolio
