The engineer behind the work

About Me

I'm a Mechatronics Engineer with 7+ years of experience at the intersection of industrial automation and modern software. My foundation is the factory floor — PLC programming, SCADA systems, instrumentation, and commissioning. That's where I started, and it remains my core.

Over time I've deliberately expanded that foundation to include software: Python pipelines for industrial data, web-based monitoring dashboards, machine learning applications for predictive maintenance, and low-code platforms that digitize manual production processes. I see the OT/IT boundary not as a barrier, but as the most interesting space to operate in.

Currently I lead automation initiatives across multiple manufacturing facilities at CMI, coordinating cross-functional teams across Central America and the Caribbean. I'm passionate about Industry 4.0 — connecting physical systems with intelligent software to drive real operational results.
