Air Traffic Control, Radar Approach Control, GCA, UAS Operations, Military Aviation

I am a Non-Commissioned Officer in the Spanish Air and Space Force currently serving as a Radar Approach Air Traffic Controller at Torrejón Air Base, where I ensure the safety and efficiency of air traffic operations while remaining fully engaged with the aviation industry. My professional background includes experience as a tower controller, flight dispatcher at Adolfo Suarez Madrid-Barajas Airport, and VIP cabin crew for the Ministry of Defence, which has provided me with a comprehensive perspective of both airside and ground operations. I am a certified remote pilot in categories A1, A2, A3, and STS, an AESA-registered UAS operator, and I actively contribute to the Military Engagement Plan (MEP) within the SESAR IRINA project, keeping me closely involved in U-space regulation and digital integration. Additionally, I collaborate with Entry Point North as a pseudo-pilot, supporting the training of future air traffic controllers through realistic simulations and standard phraseology exercises. With a solid technical foundation as a Senior Technician in Telecommunications and IT Systems, complemented by training in C++ and Java programming, SQL databases, cybersecurity, agile methodologies (SCRUM), and multiple EUROCONTROL and AESA courses, I maintain an advanced C1 level of English (ICAO Operational Level 5) and an upper-intermediate B1 level of Italian, which enables me to perform effectively in demanding and international aviation environments.
