What I'm looking for

I am seeking hands-on roles in embedded systems, IoT, or robotics that leverage AI and cross-platform development in collaborative, research-driven teams with opportunities for impact and learning.

I am a senior Software Engineering student from the University of Colima with hands-on experience building embedded systems, IoT solutions, and AI-enabled cross-platform applications. I have contributed to academic research and production-oriented projects across Mexico, Japan, and Brazil.

During internships I developed a decentralized app for monitoring Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s symptoms, built a real-time computer vision and teleoperation platform for quadruped robots, and implemented an RFID-based intelligent access control system using ESP32 hardware. I focus on performance, real-time processing, and robust system design.

I bring practical expertise in Python, C++, TypeScript, React Native, ROS, and embedded protocols, and I seek opportunities where I can apply embedded software, AI, and IoT skills to solve challenging real-world problems.
