About Javier Fernandez-Han

I am a skilled and highly motivated scientific technologist and intellectual property manager transitioning to a career in the IT industry. Presently I am preparing for the CompTIA A+ certification and will be completing additional cybersecurity certifications.For seven years, I served as an intellectual property manager for a mechanical engineering research and development startup. In this role, I developed, defined, and managed the patenting process of over 100 novel technologies, including hydrogen compressors, high-performance shoes, and industrial robot actuators.I developed and implemented IP protection strategies, ensuring protection of the company\'s new technologies and hundreds of existing technologies. I built tools which allowed me to provide data-driven timeline estimates, adapt to unexpected roadblocks, and report progress to the executive team. These tools improved efficiency and transparency, reducing patent filing costs by 50%.I managed multiple IP protection projects simultaneously while collaborating with the engineering, patent attorney, and executive teams and maintaining a high level of quality and attention to detail.Security was a top priority in my previous role, given the company\'s focus on intellectual property. I navigated and managed secure networks, file encryption, and other safety precautions, honing my ability to troubleshoot technical challenges and guide team members through complex processes.I am excited to transfer my intellectual property management skills to a career in IT focusing on cybersecurity.
