Hi, I am Gonzalo Jimenez Chango

Hybrid profile across construction quality and technical auditing, automation, and digital solutions.

I have worked in certification, construction, industrial training, scientific research, and automation-focused digital delivery with practical utility.

I currently apply Python, PDF extraction, and data cleaning to construction quality workflows, especially concrete testing and technical documentation.

I combine technical rigor, practical judgment, and iterative execution to solve complex problems and improve processes.

Quality Technician and Auditor (Construction)

AW Certificacion | Valencia, Spain

Internal move into construction, reviewing and auditing technical information for aggregates and other materials with a focus on traceability, quality, and compliance.

View responsibilities and outcomes
  • Built Python extractors and validators for ministry-facing report review, focused on self-control, verification, and concrete strength test nonconformities.
  • Created PDF extraction templates for laboratory reports, accelerating the load of hundreds of strength and water penetration tests during 2025/2026 internal migrations.
  • Cleaned and normalized technical data before final upload: certificates, company names, group prefixes, spacing, codes, and inconsistent formats.
  • Applied the Spanish Structural Code and the UNE-EN 932/933 families to interpret relevant requirements and test methods.
  • Applied audit learning across aggregates, precast products, bituminous mixtures, and ISO 14001-related environmental documentation.
  • Supported the definition of technical scope documents for the upcoming ISO 45001 certification work.
  • Prepared audit-time calculations and criteria aligned with the standard and references such as IAF MD 5 / MD 22.
  • Updated the environmental legislation for the technical areas required by the national accreditation body (ENAC) as part of the accreditation process.
  • Reviewed and technically accepted water penetration test results in concrete submitted by laboratories and clients.
  • Contributed to SIGECER's transition toward a more self-service digital workflow, where companies fill in part of the required data.
  • Handled data uploads and supporting files needed during the internal restructuring process.
  • Helped improve internal workflows to reduce team load and speed up request processing.

Technical Automation Developer

AW Certificación | Valencia, Spain

Designed and implemented the automated audit qualifications system: distributes hundreds of audits across Excel sheets by CE family (33), ISO 9001, ISO 14001, product, and control body, using SEA tags as the single classification system.

View responsibilities and outcomes
  • Built PDF extractors for non-tabulated technical reports (concrete testing, strength, water penetration) with cross-validation and anomaly detection.
  • Developed reusable JSON templates for different laboratories (Horysu, ICEC, LTE, Torralba, COMAYPA) allowing provider changes without rewriting the extractor.
  • Automated data cleaning and normalization: certificates, company names, group prefixes, non-standardized codes, and inconsistent formats before final upload.
  • Built automatic validation with inconsistency highlighting, audit code coverage verification, and automatic row generation for uncovered families.
  • Created self-contained Google Colab scripts executable by non-technical staff without local environment setup.
  • Experimented with Gemma 4 (local GGUF model) as an alternative to external APIs for PDF data extraction, evaluating local AI feasibility in offline environments.
  • Produced technical documentation for each script: usage instructions, expected input format, and execution examples.
