Haydee Coronado

Quality Assurance Analyst EVA by Turing Analytics

Haydee started her career in Mexico as a petroleum engineer. She relocated to Calgary two decades ago. In her early years in Canada, she pursued the opportunity to enhance her knowledge at the University of Calgary, culminating in the completion of both a Master’s and a Ph.D. in mechanical engineering, specializing in fluid flow and pipeline engineering.

Following her academic endeavors, Haydee joined the Pipeline Center at the University of Calgary as a Research Associate. Her role encompassed designing experimental facilities, planning, and executing fluid flow experiments, conducting data analysis, and performing numerical simulations.

In a significant career pivot last year, Haydee sought to meld her oil and gas background with a renewed focus on data analysis and software development. Joining CITI towards the end of 2023 proved instrumental as it facilitated a connection with Turing Analytics Inc. They were actively seeking a Quality Assurance Analyst with expertise in reservoir and production engineering, aligning seamlessly with Haydee’s professional background.

Since January of this year, Haydee has thrived in her role as a QA at Turing Analytics, finding it to be an outstanding fit. The position has afforded her opportunities to delve into the realms of data analysis and software development, demonstrating that she can seamlessly integrate her extensive engineering expertise into this dynamic landscape, creating a harmonious fusion of her past and present professional pursuits.
