Independent technical consultancy focused on construction cost analysis, cost estimation, and technical support for construction projects. • Cost Analysis: Prepared construction cost estimates, quantity analyses, and budget assessments for building projects. • Technical Support: Provided analytical support for construction-related projects, drawing on previous experience in tendering, procurement, and project controls. • Data & Tools: Used Excel and Python to organize and analyze cost and project data

Collaborated on hydraulic flow modeling and flood risk analysis for public infrastructure as part of my supervised professional engineering internship. • Hydraulic Modeling: Conducted steady and unsteady flow simulations for 100-, 200-, and 500-year flood events using HEC-RAS 6.6. • Model Development: Integrated topographic data and hydrograph inputs to model real-world bridge geometries and flow conditions. • Calibration & Risk Analysis: Calibrated hydraulic parameters, including Manning’s roughness

Led cost management, tendering processes, and project controls for large-scale electrical, structural, and metallurgical infrastructure projects across the national railway network. • Cost Estimation & Tendering: Analyzed public tender documentation, prepared detailed cost estimates and quantity take-offs, and compiled technical documentation for major infrastructure bids. • Project Controls: Monitored project budgets and cost baselines, comparing actual execution costs with initial estimates to identif

Managed operations, procurement, and cost control for civil and structural infrastructure projects, with a focus on railway facilities and public-sector tenders. • Cost Estimation & Procurement: Prepared cost analyses and coordinated technical procurement for infrastructure projects, including the façade renovation of Retiro Railway Station and hangar construction projects. • Operations Coordination: Coordinated resources, logistics, labor, and materials across up to 17 railway stations simultaneously.

Executed cost estimation and bid preparation for public-sector construction tenders alongside my university studies in Hydraulic Engineering. • Cost Estimation: Performed quantity take-offs, analyzed material and labor costs, and prepared preliminary cost estimates for infrastructure projects. • Tendering: Reviewed tender documentation and prepared technical and commercial information required for public-sector bids. • Documentation: Organized and prepared supporting documentation to meet tender requi

Currently pursuing a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering focused on Hydraulics, Energy & Environment, with particular interest in energy systems, hydraulic engineering, infrastructure, and sustainable development.

Completed an intensive Data Analytics Bootcamp focused on Python, SQL, Machine Learning, and Tableau. Developed hands-on projects in data analysis and predictive modeling, including a fraud detection model that won 1st prize at the bootcamp’s final expo.

Completed a five-year Civil Engineering program with broad training in structural, hydraulic, transportation, geotechnical, environmental, and construction engineering. The curriculum included Hydraulics, Hydrology, Hydraulic Works, Transportation, Roads, Geotechnical Engineering, Environmental Man

Completed approximately 75% of the degree program, with coursework covering hydraulics, hydrology, fluid mechanics, hydraulic infrastructure, water resources management, and environmental engineering. The program provided a strong foundation in water-related engineering and remains an important par
