What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and validate control, embedded, simulation, and autonomous systems, contributing from hardware integration through data analysis and real-world testing.

At Red Bull Racing Formula 1, I developed embedded code and mathematical models for SECU/McLaren Applied systems, using MATLAB/Simulink, SIL, HIL, ATLAS, and Git while supporting strategy and control teams during race weekends.

I've also led autonomous vehicle development at Ampera Racing, guiding teams across perception, localization, planning, control, and hardware to operate Latin America's first autonomous Formula Student car. My work spans neural-network algorithms, power-electronics research, PCB and circuit design, automated testing, data acquisition, CAN/Ethernet integration, and embedded controllers.
