Blog It Forward – Dairo Lozano

In first place I’d like to thank Jose Antonio Martinez for inviting me to Blog It Forward (BIF) Chain.

My name is Dairo Lozano, I was born forty years ago in Ibagué, a 400.000-inhabitants city in COLOMBIA.

I finished my studies in systems engineering on 1999 and worked 6 years as in-house developer for a Soluble Coffee factory. During that time I worked as Network administrator, software developer, automation engineer, . ISO auditor and even plant supervisor . 😯 ...  I learned a lot about technical and non-technical skills and it gave me a wider vision about my career.  After 6 years the company grew enough to require an ERP system, my recommendation was SAP but they decided to go in another way so I decided retiring and starting my life as ABAP consultant.

That was 7 years ago.  Nowadays I work for a consulting company and have participated in several projects in different kind of companies such as Oil & gas, Public Sector, Factories, Food processing, and more.

I’m married and have a son.  My parents passed away time ago.

I’m currently improving my profile with soft skills since my position is becoming more about team management than technology.

• What passions do you have outside of SAP?  
• Definitely giving happiness to my wife and my son.

• What was your dream job as a child?
• I always wanted to be an inventor like Leonardo DaVinci or even Emmet Brown. Maybe that’s why I finally decided becoming and engineer.

• Fun fact about your country or yourself?
• We feel proud in Colombia to have great football players like James Rodriguez and Falcao Garcia, Musicians like Shakira and Juanes and the most beautiful women like miss universe 2014 Paulina Vega.

My Questions for new BIF members are:

• Which 5 things do you absolutely want to achieve in life?
• If you were 20 again, what would you study?
• If you could be a super hero (or are in your spare time) who would you be?

I’d like to blog it forward to:
