What I'm looking for

I'm looking to apply my materials, mechanical design, data-analysis, and technical-advisory experience to solve industrial challenges, improve processes, and deliver clear, high-quality engineering solutions.

I've supported industrial projects at Public Enterprises of Medellín (EPM) and now advise clients at Soldaduras Industriales SAS on thermal spray and welding solutions. I propose improvements to welding and thermal-spray procedures that optimize efficiency and performance.

I use Python and MiniTab for statistical analysis, R&D projects, and predictive-maintenance strategies. My materials and diagnostics work includes SEM, XRD, XRF, FTIR, and DSC, alongside standards including ASME, ASTM, API, and DIN.

I design mechanical components and assemblies in SolidWorks, manage ERP and CRM systems, and operate 3D printers for prototyping and small-batch production. I also prepare technical tabulations, purchase requests, and accurate technical documentation.

I'm a bilingual English and Spanish communicator who can explain complex technical concepts clearly, work independently or collaboratively, and coordinate interdisciplinary teams on applied engineering projects.
