I am a civil and structural engineer with over a decade of cross-border experience in infrastructure development, structural design, and technical consulting for public and private sector projects. I work with research teams, engineering firms, NGOs, and real estate developers to provide expert support on projects requiring detailed structural analysis, seismic vulnerability assessments, cost estimation (BOQ), and feasibility studies.
My expertise lies in delivering data-driven, code-compliant solutions to complex engineering problems, backed by a strong foundation in structural safety and cost control. I’ve led and contributed to engineering research and field implementation in Haiti, the Dominican Republic, and the United States, giving me a deep understanding of regional construction challenges and regulatory environments.
