## About

```text
As a Mechatronics Engineering graduate from Pontificia Universidad Católica del Perú, I ranked in the top 10% of my class. My passion for innovation drives my research in diverse fields such as additive manufacturing, soft robotics, and inspection robotics for various applications. I possess a strong foundation in mechanical design, electronics, control, and software, with a keen focus on robotics that integrates artificial intelligence and computer vision.

Currently, I am involved in multiple research projects at the University of Delaware, where I lead initiatives on soft haptic actuators for VR and climbing robots utilizing liquid metal. My previous experiences include developing a low-cost clay delta 3D printer and mentoring students in robotics and programming. I am dedicated to sharing knowledge and inspiring the next generation of engineers through teaching and mentoring roles.
