@karensofabarajasmonr
Orthotics and prosthetics technician at Alfa ortopedica S.A.S, where I supervised fabrication and implemented digital workshop maintenance tracking.
What I'm looking for
At Alfa ortopedica S.A.S, I supervised the fabrication, alignment, assembly, and finishing of orthoses and prostheses. I assessed patients, took measurements, prepared anatomical molds, and supported device adaptation and follow-up.
I also coordinated preventive maintenance and equipment verification, managed technical records and inventory, and implemented a digital system to track workshop machinery maintenance.
At Ortopédica Teusaquillo SAS, I fabricated and adjusted custom orthoses using polypropylene thermoforming, then checked fit and alignment with patients. At Lineas Hospitalarias S.A.S, I gained practical experience making and adapting upper- and lower-limb orthoses and prostheses.
I’m continuing my studies in Robotics and Industrial Automation at Fundación Universitaria Los Libertadores. I’m interested in applying programming and automation knowledge to the design and fabrication of orthopedic devices.
