Professional Engineer · Texas
7+ years in civil engineering
Water, wastewater, and site infrastructure—from hydraulic calculations and design criteria to coordinated construction documents.
My project engineering experience includes municipal conveyance systems, lift station improvements, utility infrastructure, technical specifications, permitting support, and construction-phase coordination. I bring a practical focus to design review: how the system operates, how it can be built, and how it will be maintained.
Hydraulic calculations, pump selection and performance review, duty/standby operation, force mains, pressure piping, and bypass pumping considerations.
Waterline and wastewater collection design, pipe material and pressure-class evaluation, utility separation, and coordination of alignments, profiles, and standard details.
Drainage and site improvements, wet well rehabilitation, meter vault modifications, and coordination across civil, structural, electrical, controls, and survey disciplines.
Technical memoranda, design criteria, construction specifications, plan review, constructability, and reviewer-comment resolution. Experience applying TCEQ requirements, AWWA standards, and local utility criteria.
Technical writing that records the basis for a decision. Reviews that connect calculations, plans, and specifications. Clear coordination with clients, consultants, and construction teams when requirements or site conditions change.
I’m joining DAVCAR Engineering soon, continuing my work in civil infrastructure and project delivery.
Additional technical role
Civil Engineering AI Subject Matter Expert
I develop and evaluate domain-specific engineering problems, checking technical reasoning, assumptions, calculations, and explanations. My work includes structured feedback grounded in civil engineering practice.
02 / Software engineering
Desktop applications
Audio & signal processing
Technical workflow automation
I build Windows desktop software that connects numerical processing, interactive interfaces, and practical production workflows.
Python applications with PySide6/Qt interfaces, interactive plots, background processing, local project state, and import/export workflows. I work across the user interface, processing logic, and the files that keep a project reproducible.
NumPy/SciPy processing, waveform and spectrum analysis, loudness and peak measurement, EQ, dynamics, stereo analysis, and before/after comparison. My development work also includes native C/C++ components, audio-device integration, and plugin-hosting boundaries.
Regression tests, numerical checks, interface checks, performance measurements, and packaged-application verification. I use versioned releases, dependency records, build scripts, and recovery documentation to make changes traceable and delivery repeatable.

04 / Education
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.

05 / 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.
Watch the visualizer
Original music / Video
An original CBC track with a 4K audio-reactive visualizer. The visual movement follows the music, giving the release a presence beyond the recording.

Watch the visualizerOriginal music / Visual direction
An electronic release with a 4K visualizer. I brought the track and its visual presentation together, then carried the music into the Shuffle Elite series.

Watch Week 22Editing / Ongoing series
A recurring series featuring shuffle dancers and electronic music. I handle the series, editing, and publishing. Performances are by the featured dancers, credited in each release.

06 / Background
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.
