Over an eighteen-year career at Luz y Fuerza del Centro, a century-old government-owned company in Mexico, I progressed from Technical Assistant to Departmental Manager.

Supervising the construction of Line 12 was more than just a job—it was a transformative experience that shaped both my worldview and career. It served as a crucible where I was tested, refined, and ultimately strengthened. From walking through empty, dark tunnels to testing some of the most advanced systems, the project left a lasting impact on my personal and professional journey.
