Dario Culap

Hello I’m Dario, welcome to my ePortfolio, here you will find out who I am, what I’ve done and what I want to do.

In 2014 I decided to start my journey towards becoming a Civil Engineer. It all started with a Civil Drafting Apprenticeship in Switzerland, went through many side roads to finally reach my degree from University College London in June 2023 in Civil Engineering (MEng).

My objective is to continue pursuing my Civil Engineering career with a great focus in the Geotechnical Engineering field, and on Project Management, which is where I want to develop my skills and have a long-term career.
