Summary

High personal integrity, confident, ambitious, fast learner, self-motivated with attention to detail, passion for continuous professional development, and a team player. Can work and perform under minimum supervision and pressure.


I possess extensive experience in diverse tasks, including field measurements using total stations and GNSS receivers, as well as data processing and analysis. Over the past decade, I have served in the county government, focusing on water and sewage infrastructure. My responsibilities have involved close collaboration with institutions overseeing roads and highways, particularly in constructing new infrastructure and relocating existing ones within the city.

In addition to my academic pursuits, I have taken proactive steps to enhance my communication skills by enrolling in Dutch classes. Although I have completed the A0 level, my commitment to language proficiency remains, and I plan to resume the language course at a later date, considering my current intensive workload.
