Gerardo is a Georgia native who moved from Nicaragua at an early age and has always had a passion for how things work. With a strong interest in the built environment, he is currently focused on expanding his knowledge in MEP engineering. His long-term goal is to gain proficiency in all three disciplines—mechanical, electrical, and plumbing—to improve cross-disciplinary coordination and better manage complex projects from start to finish.

Outside of work, Gerardo values time with his family, especially in his role as a proud uncle to two wonderful nieces and nephews. He enjoys the balance of technical growth and personal connection, bringing that same energy to his team and projects. His commitment to continuous learning and collaboration makes him a valuable asset to the Proficient Engineering team.

We stand by our work

We’ve been called a lot of things ~ Experienced, easy to work with, and proactive are a few of our favorites.

Proficient is not just on time and on budget but the work has directly impacted our residents. We’re focusing on end users and having real discussions about what works instead of just pumping out work and checking boxes to get a job done. They’re doing things that nobody else is. A revolution with higher level engineering design in the senior housing space is about to hit and Proficient has opened my eyes to new opportunities that I couldn’t have dreamed of. There has been true collaboration and innovation between Proficient and LifeBUILT. I can now better serve the senior community. My client and the residents love the results and our investors, contractors and designers are very happy.

Proficient was one step ahead. They knew exactly what to do and made things a lot faster and easier for me. I would absolutely use Proficient again because of how smoothly things went, their ability to meet deadlines, and how flexible the team was with adapting the system’s designs and plans to the owner’s needs.
