Never settle

The Broadway Subway Project is a 5.7 km extension of the Millennium Line, from VCC-Clark Station to Arbutus. It will provide fast, frequent and convenient SkyTrain service to British Columbia’s second-largest jobs center, world-class health services, and emerging innovation and research hub, and growing residential communities.

• 700 meters will be elevated, extending from VCC-Clark Station to a tunnel portal near Great Northern Way.
• 5 kilometers will be tunneled below the Broadway Corridor from Great Northern Way to Arbutus Street.
• 6 underground stations will connect communities and the region, including a direct underground connection to the Canada Line at Cambie Street.
• The 99 B-Line bus service will connect from Arbutus Street to the University of British Columbia.

As part of the metro systems construction team, my daily tasks include both project coordination and interface management for transit systems integrating with station facilities.

Internship at Carpeta Ciudadana 2.0, a project commissioned by the General Secretariat of Digital Administration (Secretaría General de Administración Digital).

Working at everis for the public sector for three months allowed me to see how people work in the Public Administration and what it means to collaborate in a project that will affect almost all Spanish citizens. Carpeta Ciudadana was the prototype of what will be Carpeta Ciudadana 2.0, a much more elaborate platform that aims to be used for any communication between the administration and the citizen.

Following a working methodology similar to SCRUM, I was given analysis tasks for the implementation of new services. This forced me to ask for help from several members of the team (programmers, analysts, project manager, …) which made me realize the importance of communication between one another.

In a context of increasing material scarcity, Hermès Maroquinerie-Sellerie is committed to optimizing the use of its raw materials. In order to meet these new challenges, Hermès Maroquinerie-Sellerie seeks to facilitate the recovery of exploitable material after first use. The aim was to reference the available materials and allow exchanges between different manufacturing sites in order to produce as much as possible, without loss of resources and by limiting waste generation.

The project concerned the framing, design and implementation of a digital interface allowing these secondary flows to be controlled in an interactive, collaborative and instantaneous way. The proposed solution was to be used by manufacturing sites to offer materials they had or to request materials they needed.
In a group of seven, we tackled this problem from different angles and implemented the one we thought was the best solution.

During two years, I completed my engineering training with this master’s degree. I specialized in industrial organization, with the aim of obtaining a more global vision of engineering as a whole, without focusing on a single field.

Working on a project requires knowledge in many areas, from team management and dealing with clients, to technical, financial and legal skills. This accreditation proves that I have the right mindset to work on a project, knowing the interactions between the different areas.

I studied the first two years in Madrid and the following two in Lyon. The hard work required at Politécnica has allowed me to acquire skills such as resilience and work under pressure. At Centrale, I went out of my comfort zone and had to adapt to a new educational system in a language I barely spoke.
