Rafael Escaño Marín

Rafael is one of the most diligent and self-confident engineers I've worked with. He addresses every problem he faces with a quick and well-based solution, reaching a high level of solved tickets every day. More technically, he worked hard in order to achieve the required knowledge for his position. He's now able to handle any kind of issue inside Amitelo's network, specifically those refering to wireless technologies, network routing and VoIP systems.
