About

Hi, I'm Karen Lovedorial, a licensed civil engineer with a strong passion for application of digital solutions in engineering. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Civil Engineering from the University of the Philippines and have gained expertise in quantity surveying, GIS mapping, and site development design. My work integrates data analytics, automation, and programming to optimize engineering processes.

Beyond my technical background, I have experience in AI training, database management, and business intelligence tools like Power BI. I am constantly learning and expanding my skills to bridge the gap between engineering and technology.

Projects

  • #30DayMapChallenge

    A compilation of maps featuring different themes for each day of the month. Among the entries are interactive maps which makes use of modern GIS libraries and vanilla maps made using QGIS and Atlas.

  • Mini-

    Mini AI Training

    Data preprocessing and model evaluation project for my AI diploma course. Involved cleaning and analyzing behavioral attributes (sleep, productivity, commute, BMI) to predict weekly online duration using classification algorithms (kNN, Decision Tree, Naïve Bayes). Compared model metrics, analyzed confusion matrices, and reflected on LLM-assisted workflow and AI ethics.
