Construction & Civil Engineering Background
Project Technician & Estimator
Before transitioning into software development, I spent several years working in the construction industry, where I specialized in project preparation, technical drawings, and cost estimation for public works and infrastructure projects.
My role involved analyzing technical plans, coordinating with engineers and site teams, and managing project documentation. This experience strengthened my attention to detail, problem-solving skills, and ability to work collaboratively. Qualities that I now apply daily in software development.
