About Me

I am an Infrastructure Design Engineer with over four years of experience specializing in the technical design of complex utility and water management systems. My professional background spans a diverse range of scales, from localized residential developments to massive, city-scale urban expansions.

My core focus includes pressurized water systems for potable water, irrigation, and firefighting, as well as sanitary sewage and multi-purpose surface water management. This involves designing traditional drainage networks alongside artificial canals that serve beyond simple runoff—facilitating site-wide drainage, microclimate regulation, and urban aesthetics. I also specialize in groundwater control and foundation drainage to ensure structural protection and long-term resilience.

My workflow is built on technical precision, utilizing industry-standard tools such as AutoCAD, Urbano 11, and WaterGEMS to deliver functional and reliable infrastructure solutions. To optimize this process, I leverage Design Automation through AutoLISP and Excel VBA. This approach allows me to eliminate repetitive, routine tasks and minimize potential errors, freeing up capacity to focus on the unique engineering challenges and technical nuances of every project.
