Below I describe my main activities in astronomy, at a professional level, as well as personal projects, recognitions and participation in notable international events. Some tasks are not current and/or are included as part of my career, for reference purposes.
I also provide freelance services in various fields (e.g. astrotourism, astrophotography, e-learning, content creation). If you are interested in hiring my services for your institution/initiative, contact me.
