I have been working as a design consultant for sustainable structures built in the Austin area. As a freelance consultant, I've created sustainable building models and strategies for agriculture, manufacturing, construction, and aquaculture companies. I led the design of significant warehouse expansions and developed a plan of action for continued growth. Please feel free to message me here or email me at marioagtez@gmail.com if you are looking for guidance and direction for your next building project.

I was the Project Leader for the Harvard x Kaminando Project, dedicated to conservation of land, animals, and cultural sovereignty efforts in Panama. Based on guidelines provided by stakeholders, I developed a strategy for research, deliverables, and rollout of our educational plan. I led the creation and translation of campaign deliverables, education materials, and reporting.

As one of the first official Undergraduate Fellows at Harvard's Derek Bok Center, I piloted dozens of projects, designs, and innovative learning and teaching technologies alongside university faculty. During my time here, I established myself as the designated 3D modeling consultant and designer for the Learning Lab. One of my biggest projects was my designs and models for the Harvard Horizons PhD Presentations. Additionally, I taught a modeling series focused on Cinema 4D and created tutorial videos for students or faculty to access.

Ichthus Unlimited is the first bluefin tuna hatchery in the US for sustainable tuna farming. I created and designed the model for their first facility in San Diego and their future offshore pens. I built models for their brooding tanks using Cinema 4D and my thesis research on sustainable aquaculture structures. My bluefin tuna hatchery design is the first of its kind and the only successful brooding system in use. This model will soon revitalize the bluefin tuna industry in coastal cities like San Diego.

I worked with Dr. Teresa Amabile at the Harvard Business School, researching and analyzing the utility and economic effects of retirement on industry professionals. I collected and analyzed data from retired individuals around the country to assist Professor Amabile in her publications. I coded the data and compiled reports in NVivo11.
