About the Proud Colombian Author of this Site

My name is Fernando and I am a proud Colombian citizen.

Here I will include topics about what I like and do for a living.
This is me ... FERCHO and this a sample of what I doControl System

I am an ISA Certified Automation Professional, CAP. That is, I am a Process Control Engineer (or an Automation Engineer) with certification from the International Society of Automation, ISA.

What the heck is a Control Engineer????

Well, my background is Chemical Engineering but my specialization is Automatic Process Control. Simply put, my job is to make sure that an industrial manufacturing process is able to be controlled in an automatic manner without being baby-sitted. Got it??


Here is the company I proudly work for Optimo Group Inc. I work as a Process Control Consultant

Basically I help industrial plants perform to their best by optimizing the performance of their automation systems and thus their process. Typically savings and profits are generated when an industrial process is optimized and its automation system performance is enhanced.
