Steven A Torres Ramos

I have over (30) years of Computer Aided Drafting & Design experience and over (20) years of IT experience. After graduating high school I attended a Technical College and earned an Associate Degree in Drafting & Design. I then enrolled at the University of Puerto Rico where I earned an A.S. in Civil Engineering Technologies. While attending the Univ. of Puerto Rico I worked as a freelance Drafter for a variety of architects and engineers.

During my senior year I began to work for a local Architect, Luis Arroyo and his firm Planning Management & Development in Ponce, Puerto Rico. Two years later I was offered the position at Mario Corsino & Associates, which later became InterGroup a medium size Civil Engineering, Architectural and Planning firm in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. At InterGroup I became assistant to the chief drafter, and this is also where I began my IT training. In 2000 I decided to move to St. Petersburg, FL where I was hired as CAD/IT Manager at Advanced Engineering & Design a small Civil Engineering firm established in 1998.

I have also continued to expand my knowledge base in both the IT & CADD fields through continued training, certifications, and attending Autodesk University. I’m currently an Autodesk Certified Professional proficient in AutoCAD, Civil 3D and various other Autodesk products. I have been the President of the Tampa Bay Autodesk Users Group (TBAUG) since late 2007 and a member of Autodesk Users Group International (AUGI) since 1996. I have an A.S. Degree in Computer Networking and a Bachelors of Applied Science in Technology Management and a Masters in Computer Information Systems.

I’m also a licensed drafter in the US Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, and a Microsoft Certified Professional. I hold certificates as a Microsoft Certified IT Professional: Server Administrator, Cisco Networking Associate Professional and Linux Administrator.

I have been an Adjunct Professor at St Petersburg College since 2015 teaching Computer AIded Design (CAD)
