Serrano, V. & Reina, M.  ·  Concrete Strength Monitoring Using IoT Technology: The Maturity Method
Peer-reviewed article documenting the first full-scale implementation of the Concrete Maturity Method using IoT sensor systems on an active construction site in Uruguay. Covers system architecture, thermocouple calibration, thermal data processing, and real-time compressive strength estimation — validated against laboratory results. Co-developed alongside ANII national research grant ART_X_2024_1 in partnership with Universidad de la República, Facultad de Ingeniería (FING). pp. 32–40.

About Me

I'm a Civil Engineer who builds the analytical tools that make engineering decisions clearer — bringing domain knowledge to understand what infrastructure data means, and the technical toolkit to process, model, and communicate it.

My work has spanned real-time IoT sensor pipelines, infrastructure condition assessments, automated inspection systems, and national research grants. I operate at the intersection of engineering precision and data-driven decision-making.

I'm actively seeking roles at the intersection of civil engineering and data analysis — remote or on-site — where analytical tools connect directly to engineering outcomes in infrastructure, construction, or AEC environments.
