I am a structural engineer from the University of Chile and a current student of Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning at College LaSalle Montreal.
Throughout my more than 10 years in structural calculation and software development for structural engineering, I have developed a deep passion for data analysis and structures. Currently, this enthusiasm is reflected in my work for Obralink, where I lead the development of a software solution for the automatic generation of models and structural analysis. This project, focused on optimizing construction processes, leverages real-time data from each work site, collected by an IoT system developed by the company.

                        Modeling of Compression Failure in Reinforced Concrete Walls Observed in the 2010 Chilean Earthquake of Magnitude MW 8.8
                        January 2011

                        On February 27, 2010, a Mw 8.8 earthquake near Cobquecura severely damaged reinforced concrete buildings over 10 stories high. This study models the response of T-shaped reinforced concrete shear walls, which were particularly affected. Using fiber models and seismic data, the research reproduced the damage observed in these structures, focusing on non-linear material behavior. Key findings include the importance of enhanced confinement and controlling axial load to prevent excessive deformations, as well as the influence of the number of floors and foundation modeling on seismic performance.
