Uribe Restrepo
Gustavo Uribe-Restrepo was born in Bogotá, Colombia, on January 8, 1958. He is identified in genealogical records as the son of Gustavo Uribe Angulo and Eleonora Restrepo Ángel. His family background connects him with established Colombian Uribe and Restrepo family lines, while his professional and educational record reflects subsequent transnational ties between Colombia and the United States.
Uribe-Restrepo pursued engineering studies at the Universidad de los Andes, completing a degree in engineering in 1980. He continued his graduate education at Stanford University, where he earned a Master of Science in Water Resources in 1982, and at the University of California, Berkeley, where he completed a Master of Science in engineering in 1983. This sequence of degrees established a specialization spanning general engineering, water resources, and advanced engineering studies.
Uribe-Restrepo began his documented professional career as a field engineer with Restrepo y Uribe Limited in New Jersey from 1980 to 1981. He later held a series of engineering and project-management roles in Colombia, including main engineer, project coordinator, project director, and partner in 2000. His work also included leadership in engineering interventoría: in 1995 he signed official infrastructure documentation as Director of Interventoría for Restrepo y Uribe Ltda. In 2021 he was identified as Director of Interventoría and project supervisor in connection with the technical, administrative, financial, and legal oversight of Bogotá’s intelligent traffic-light system project.
Uribe-Restrepo was recorded as a member of the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Stanford Alumni Association, and Uniandinos. The associations reflect his continuing links with the civil-engineering profession, Stanford University, and the Universidad de los Andes community.
Uribe-Restrepo is documented as the son of Gustavo Uribe Angulo and Eleonora Restrepo Ángel. His professional connections include Restrepo y Uribe Ltda., the American Society of Civil Engineers, the Stanford Alumni Association, and Uniandinos.
