## About

```text
At FYNTEK, I co-developed an IoT controller and cloud platform for reverse osmosis systems with Tratamientos de Agua SAS. I designed the PCB and enclosure and developed ESP32 firmware, alongside a Flask platform on Oracle Cloud; 3 units are in operation.

My work spans connected devices and industrial automation. I programmed PLC and HMI systems for reverse osmosis units and an automated perfume filling and labeling machine, and previously designed industrial water treatment systems and production machinery.
