Strong background in sanitary and hydraulic design, complemented by the development of custom software tools to streamline engineering workflows.
AboutMe
I’m a Process Engineer in the Food & Beverage industry with a background in chemical engineering and a long-standing curiosity for understanding how systems work and how they can be improved. This mindset led me to pursue chemical engineering, driven by an early fascination with chemistry and problem-solving.
I began my career in engineering firms serving the petrochemical industry, working on projects in regions such as Villahermosa and Coatzacoalcos. My work later shifted toward the Food & Beverage sector in Mexico City, where I’ve spent over a decade involved in turnkey projects, seeing designs evolve into fully operating plants.
In parallel, I actively seek efficiency through automation and software, recognizing that modern engineering is defined by digital tools, applications, and automated workflows. I develop and use custom software tools and mobile apps to streamline calculations, documentation, and engineering processes, supporting standardization, accuracy, and continuous improvement.
Outside of professional work, I maintain a balance between personal interests and occasional technical side projects. I strive to be perceived as a reliable and pragmatic engineer, professional in approach, measured in innovation, and continuously focused on improving how engineering work is done.
