I am a U.S. citizen and U.S.-based Contracts, Patent, and Trademark Documentation Specialist with dual residency in Colombia and Texas, bringing more than 15 years of hands-on experience drafting, revising, preparing, and filing U.S. and international intellectual property documentation.
Over the course of a 10+ year career as an international software entrepreneur, I have personally developed patented technologies and secured trademarks for multiple international enterprises, with issued patents in the United States and Mexico. This entrepreneurial background gives me a rare, practical understanding of how intellectual property must function not only legally, but commercially and strategically.
Today, I apply these decades of experience to support inventors, startups, founders, and intellectual property attorneys by delivering clear, technically precise, and examiner-ready patent and trademark documentation. I do not provide legal advice or legal representation. Instead, I focus on the technical drafting, structural integrity, clarity, completeness, and procedural accuracy that strengthen applications before they reach the USPTO or international offices.
My background includes drafting full patent specifications, structuring and editing claims, preparing drawings and reference numerals, developing provisional and non-provisional applications, conducting patentability searches, assisting with Office Action responses, performing trademark searches, and preparing filing-ready trademark and copyright documentation.
Clients work with me when they need:
Technically sound patent drafts ready for prosecution
Claims that are readable, properly scoped, and internally consistent
Reliable filing support that meets USPTO deadlines without sacrificing quality
Clear risk analysis before investing in filing and prosecution
I am efficient, detail-driven, and highly accustomed to working under tight timelines. Most projects are delivered as polished drafts ready for attorney review or direct client filing.
