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.
