Wilmer Cantos, Founder
After traveling to over 60 countries across six continents, including Antarctica, I’ve seen firsthand how infrastructure shapes communities and everyday life.
With degrees in architecture and civil engineering, and a doctorate in civil engineering with a focus on machine learning from New York University, I bring a multidisciplinary approach to design, engineering, and technology at Cantos Inc.
