01 / About

Engineering, software,
and the bigger picture.

I’m a civil engineer and R&D Lead working at the intersection of engineering, software development, and technology innovation.

At TECNESYSTRA Advanced Tunneling, I lead R&D activities for tunnel and infrastructure engineering—from defining the roadmap and coordinating resources to developing computational tools and automated workflows.

My work combines engineering domain expertise with hands-on software development, computational modeling, and data interoperability. I’m interested in how better tools and connected processes can improve both productivity and quality.
