Jorge Aldegunde Piñeiro’s Summary

I am a Spanish Telecommunications Engineer, specialised in Electronics and Information Systems applied to the Rail Sector.

I have approximately five years of professional experience, and have so far worked for four companies. I first took up a working experience in the UK, where I cooperated with the Lloyd's Register Group, particularly with its Engineering Consultancy firm (Lloyd's Register Rail, formerly Lloyd's Register MHA Ltd.). Back in Spain I began to work with a firm called Ardanuy Ingeniería, whose main activity area is the provision of consultancy and technical support in the development of electrical, signalling and telecommunications project for the rail sector.

From May 2005 to September 2007 I worked for a company called InfoGLOBAL as a Project Engineer, mainly involved in the design of solutions in the fields of Telecommunications and Information Systems.

I was specialised in the Networking Area, and my expertise covers technological areas such as Multiservice IP Networks, Synchronous SDH-PDH Networks, Wireless Networks (WiFi, WiMax, Mesh) and the provision of high-level services/applications over the aforementioned networking technologies. InfoGLOBAL's role is that of a Systems-Integrator, whose main focus is upon the infrastructure sector, particulary the rail sector.

Since September 2007 I have been working as a Transportation Business Development Manager for Lloyd's Register España.
