Reading and writing

Hi, I'm Omar Ruiz. Let me fill you in on a bit about myself. I grew up in Huacho-Perú, but recently I moved to Dallas, Texas to take up a role in the Construction sector. I've always been into studying, and I even turned my passion for sport into a side project.

At work, I team up with colleagues to come up with creative solutions, and outside of it, I love catching up with friends over coffee or working out at the gym. I'm someone who looks forward to new challenges - whether it's picking up a skill like English language or stepping up to lead projects.

I'm excited to get to know everyone here and fit in with the team. Don´t hesitate to reach out if you want to chat about Electrical installations or just hang out.
