Dedicated civil engineer and university professor with structural expertise.
What I'm looking for
I am a passionate civil engineer with a Master's Degree in Civil Works Structural Calculation and extensive experience in academia and practical engineering. My journey began with a Bachelor's Degree in Civil Engineering, where I graduated with honors, and has evolved into a fulfilling career as a university professor. I have taught various subjects, including Engineering Fundamentals and Structural Systems, at multiple universities across Bolivia and Central America.
Throughout my career, I have also worked as a Structural Engineer and Consultant, applying my knowledge to real-world projects. My commitment to continuous learning is evident through numerous certifications and courses in advanced software like Autodesk Robot Structural Analysis and Revit. I believe in the importance of sustainable development and have actively participated in discussions and webinars focused on climate change and sustainable construction practices.
