Incostas S.A.Project Manager

Jan. 2015 - Jun. 2016Caracas, Federal District, VenezuelaWe developed nine projects within the environmental studies division. The majority were Environmental Impact Assessments and due diligence, where we include modern concepts to the traditional administrative process.

Incostas S.A.Project Intern

Sep. 2014 - Jan. 2015Caracas, Federal District, VenezuelaDuring my internship in INCOSTAS S, A, I lead a small project developing a sewage treatment system for a tourist complex (Planned to attend 200 people per day) located in La Blanquilla Island, Dependencias Federales, Venezuela. The difficulties and challenges involved in constructing 170 km offshore and the area's harsh conditions make the right system selection an exciting process. Finally, I designed an artificial wetland, a natural wastewater treatment system with excellent qualities: - low mechanization, - low technical requirements and - low construction and operational costs. All these attributes made the project viable and later on constructed by INCOSTAS.

Universidad Nacional Experimental del TáchiraLaboratory Assistant

Feb. 2012 - Jul. 2012San Cristóbal, TáchiraTrainee of the Multidisciplinary Unit for Research in Basic Sciences and Engineering (UMICBI), UNET. During my short period in the laboratory, we developed research on Methanol (CH3OH) presence in artisanal liquors produce locally in the State of Táchira. I was in charge of: - Coordinating fieldwork for the collection of samples, - Perform calibration curves in our lab - Determining methanol's concentrations in the samples. - We use spectrophotometry, with high levels of quality and standardization. Even that I could not complete the project, a significant number of analyzed samples were positive, which shows the risk in the consumption of artisanal liquors in high quantities. Methanol in high concentrations (Doses over 20 ml) can be deadly for humans.
