Sergio Esteban

Construction Estimator and Material Takeoff Specialist

May 2023 - Present • 3 yrs 5 mos

I focus on construction estimating support, material takeoffs, roof measurements, and roofing quantity calculations. My approach begins with reviewing the available drawings, plans, dimensions, specifications, and project notes to understand the scope of work. I organize relevant measurements and quantities into clear, structured takeoff information that can help clients review material requirements and prepare project estimates. For roofing work, I pay attention to roof areas, dimensions, slopes where information is available, and the components identified in the plans. Cost estimates depend on the supplied specifications, material prices, labor assumptions, location, and project conditions, so these inputs should be confirmed before final pricing. I aim to document assumptions, identify missing information, and communicate limitations instead of presenting uncertain quantities as confirmed facts. My goal is to make estimating information easier to review, compare, and use during project planning. Built an organized approach to reviewing project documents, identifying measurement requirements, structuring quantity information, and recording estimating assumptions. Focused on presenting takeoff results in a clear format so that clients can trace quantities back to the available plans and specifications. Recognized the importance of checking dimensions, avoiding unsupported assumptions, and distinguishing measured quantities from estimated allowances. For roofing tasks, emphasized documenting the information available for roof area and related materials before calculating quantities. Strengthen this entry with genuine examples of takeoff reports, software you can use confidently, verified projects completed, and measurable quality or turnaround results. Include professional construction experience only if it reflects your real background and qualifications.

Furry Artist and Fantasy Creature Designer

May 2022 - Present • 4 yrs 5 mos

I develop character concepts focused on furry art, custom fursonas, anthropomorphic characters, fantasy creatures, and original creature designs. My process starts with the client's description, references, personality notes, preferred visual style, and intended purpose for the character. I consider proportions, silhouettes, facial expressions, fur patterns, markings, colors, clothing, accessories, and distinctive features to help each design feel recognizable and cohesive. For fantasy creature concepts, I also consider anatomy, textures, scale, horns, wings, claws, and other features that support the creature's identity. I aim to balance imaginative design with the practical requirements of the brief. Clear communication and structured feedback help me identify requested changes and keep the design aligned with the client's vision. Each project is approached individually, whether the goal is a personal fursona, an anthro character, a monster concept, or artwork for a creative project. Established a design workflow centered on translating written character descriptions and visual references into coherent artwork concepts. Focused on distinctive silhouettes, coordinated color schemes, expressive faces, and recognizable character details. Explored design approaches suitable for fursonas, anthropomorphic characters, fantasy creatures, and game-related concept art. Used structured review and feedback to identify inconsistencies and refine visual details against the project brief. To demonstrate actual achievements, add examples of completed designs, the number of portfolio pieces you have produced, any verified client projects, or specific improvements made during revisions. Avoid stating sales figures, client counts, or professional outcomes unless you can substantiate them.

I also consider the client's feedback throughout the process so that revisions can address the most important details.
