Municipal infrastructure
& project delivery
My background is in civil infrastructure, from the design calculations and specifications to the reviews and coordination needed during construction.
Water mains, force mains, lift stations, and the requirements that connect them to the larger system.
Site infrastructure, utility coordination, and support for permitting and project development.
Calculations, technical specifications, QA/QC, and coordination with clients and project teams.
Documenting decisions, explaining constraints, and helping people work through complex technical information.
I’m joining DAVCAR Engineering soon, continuing my work in civil infrastructure and project delivery.
About a decade in education
Education was a substantial part of my working life. I taught in the classroom, tutored individual students, and ran a tutoring business in Puerto Rico.
Owner & mentor
I founded and ran a tutoring business, teaching mathematics, science, and programming while managing its operations and staff.
Math & science teacher
I taught intermediate and high school students. Classroom teaching and individual tutoring gave me experience working with different levels of understanding and explaining the steps behind a solution.
Volunteer translator · April 2016–December 2017
I translated educational material into Spanish, helping make technical and creative subjects accessible to more readers. Published examples include tutorials on arranging music for strings and creating animated game sprites.

Clear But Complex
CBC is my artist and creative production project. I produce the music, develop the visuals, and prepare the releases. Here are a few places to start.

I developed this techno release into a downloadable soundtrack package, with alternate mixes, loops, vocal elements, and effects. The files come with track information and licensing documentation.
Browse the soundtrack packageThe music was produced traditionally. Some promotional graphics use AI-assisted artwork. The package’s published license governs use.
I build tools and automation for technical and creative workflows. That includes defining how a tool should behave, testing it, refining the workflow, and organizing its outputs. I use AI-assisted development as part of that process.
As a Civil Engineering AI Subject Matter Expert with Handshake AI, I work on domain-specific problems and evaluate technical reasoning. I review accuracy, assumptions, and explanations, then provide structured feedback.
I grew up in Puerto Rico and live in Austin. I work in English and Spanish.
I earned my B.S. in Civil Engineering at the Polytechnic University of Puerto Rico. My work has included education, engineering, data analysis, software, and creative production.
I served with the Texas Society of Professional Engineers’ Travis Chapter for three consecutive years.
Through CBC, I work on everything from arrangement and sound design to the edits, visuals, and files that make a release ready to share. I’m interested in projects where I can put both my technical and creative experience to use.
