What I'm looking for

I'm looking to move into energy project analysis or consulting roles, applying engineering rigor and financial evaluation tools to renewable and conventional energy projects supporting Argentina's energy transition.

I'm leading foreign product development at WEGA Argentina, taking component lines from reverse engineering through commercial launch while preparing technical-commercial quotations and cost-feasibility studies for sourcing and investment decisions.

Previously, at Wood PLC, I delivered hydraulic and demand calculations for fixed fire suppression systems on offshore Oil & Gas platforms, contributed to HAZOP studies, and prepared engineering documentation aligned with NFPA, ASME, and API standards.

I'm completing a Master's in Energy at Universidad de Buenos Aires, where my applied work evaluates the techno-economic feasibility of utility-scale solar PV and wind projects in Argentina. I bring advanced English and experience coordinating with international teams, suppliers, and clients.
