About Me

Welcome to my web site!

I am a professor of Software Engineering at the Autonomous University of Zacatecas (UAZ).

Drawing from my diverse experiences I have gained significant expertise in what I consider my main areas of interest:

Software Requirements
Software Architecture Design
Software Product Management
Agile and Lean Software Development Methodologies

I earned my PhD at The University of Manchester - Department of Computer Science.

Courses I Teach

Introduction to Software Engineering

Students should get a general understanding of the body of knowledge of software engineering.

Requirements Engineering

Students should understand the fundamental concepts for identifying, specifying, and managing software requirements and be able to apply them.

OO Analysis and Design

Students should understand the fundamental concepts for object-oriented analysis and design and be able to apply them.

Software Architecture

Students should understand the fundamental concepts of software architecture design and be able to apply them.
