About
I am a Certified Project Management Professional (PMP®) and Mechanical Engineer with over 9 years of hands-on experience leading large-scale EPC projects, plant modernizations, and heavy equipment engineering in the cement and process industries across Latin America and the Caribbean.
I specialize in bridging the gap between high-level project management and rigorous technical execution. Beyond tracking schedules and budgets, I bring a strong background in mechanical design review, 3D CAD modeling, and engineering analysis (FEA/CFD).
Core Services & Expertise:
• Engineering Project Management: Full project lifecycle supervision using PMI standards (Scope, Schedule, Cost, and Risk Management).
• Technical Design Review & Auditing: Evaluating 3D CAD models, manufacturing drawings, and engineering reports for industrial equipment (conveyors, silos, piping, heavy structures, industrial utilities, specific equipment).
• Procurement & Vendor Oversight: Crafting precise Technical Specifications for machinery procurement and auditing contractor proposals.
• Simulation & Analysis Review: Verifying structural (FEA) and fluid/thermal (CFD) simulation reports to validate product integrity before fabrication.
• Plant Shutdowns & Commissioning: Planning and controlling maintenance turnarounds to minimize plant downtime.
Whether you need end-to-end engineering management, technical design review, or project consulting, I bring structure, risk mitigation, and industrial quality to your operations. Let's connect to discuss your project requirements!
