Engineer-In-Training
Hello! My name is Esteban Valderrama, and I am currently a graduate student at the University of Wisconsin at Platteville in Structural and Geotechnical Engineering. I work at the University of Texas at San Antonio (UTSA). I graduated from EAFIT University in December 2012 with a B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering with concentration in mechanical design. I have very cross-disciplinary interests, spanning the range of structural engineering, aerospace structures, geotechnical engineering, mechanical design, and software design.
I consider myself an organized, proactive and always willing to learn person. I can easily adapt to a team working environment. I'm driven by core values such as respect, honesty and tolerance. I truly believe that a positive attitude and discipline can guide me to success in all the projects/activities/challenges that I'm committed to.

Developed computational tools to study damage tolerance in aerospace structures; CVGROW is a Fortran code used to compute the crack growth and cycles to failure. Created graphical user interface for software to calculate the linear fatigue damage and damage tolerance of small airplanes.
Designed algorithms to study biophysical phenomena. Trained students in the usage of the computational tools.
Designed and developed testing procedures to comply with user requirements.
Designed and developed computer software to study biophysical phenomena, the Classical Solvation Density Functional Theory Solver (CSDFTS) is an open-source and it is mainly used for research and teaching purposes.
I am currently looking for job in the structural and/or mechanical engineering industries. Do you have an opportunity for me? That's great! Give me a call or send me an email and I will get back to you as soon as possible!
