I am native of Peru and a Junior Civil Engineering student at Brigham Young University.
As a student, I also serve as the Technology chair of BYU ASCE and as an active member of the BYU Steel Bridge Club.
Currently, I work as a research assistant at the hydro-informatics lab of BYU. My work in the hydro-informatics lab helps me be more familiar with programming languages and work on developing apps for IOS and Android.

Interests

In addition to my academic pursuits, I find joy in cherishing moments with my wife and embracing the beauty of the outdoors. Throughout the year, I actively engage in soccer, while the warm months in Utah offer me the perfect opportunity to indulge in hiking, running, and exploring the wonders of our National Parks.

Even when confined indoors, I seek knowledge and inspiration through documentaries and diverse YouTube channels that keep me entertained. My passion for continuous growth drives me to invest a substantial amount of my free time in exploring new concepts and honing both professional and recreational skills, as I firmly believe that learning is an enriching lifelong journey.
