I am a Water Resources and Civil Engineer, with a passion to design creative solutions that help nature and humanity. The ‘pale blue dot,’ the phrase Carl Sagan used to describe Earth, subtly reflects how water sustains life and gives Earth its unique identity in the cosmos. As for me, I find purpose in studying and designing water systems, both natural and man-made.
EIT Certification: I have passed the FE exam in the Environmental Engineering discilpine in September 2025. I am in the process of obtaining an E.I.T. certification.
