Hola, mi nombre es Edgar Alvis, soy de Colombia y tuve una larga trayectoria para ejercer en mi profesión, en los Estados Unidos donde estoy involucrado en el diseño de plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales trabajando con Infiltrator Water Technologies. Parte de mis responsabilidades en Infiltrator es elaborar planes para las plantas de tratamiento de aguas residuales de Delta. También actúo como intérprete de español para ayudar con las preguntas de diseño del cliente y trabajo junto con nuestra diseñadora de aguas residuales Brenda Faz (también de habla hispana). Algunas de nuestras plantas de tratamiento terminan en Latinoamérica. Esta última semana asistí a la feria Water Expo (virtualmente) y tuve numerosos contactos fuera de los Estados Unidos.
