About
Who I am
Robotics engineer working end-to-end on real hardware — from the chassis up. I find my best work where mechanical, electrical, embedded firmware, and high-level software meet, because that's where systems actually fail or come together. Currently finishing my Aerospace Engineering degree at URJC Madrid (graduating June 2026) and looking for robotics roles in Switzerland.
Recent work
Chief Engineer, Driverless Section — Ü Motorsport / UM Driverless (2022 – present)
Lead engineer on a Formula Student team converting a competition Tony Kart into a fully autonomous outdoor testbed. Migrated the full stack from Python prototype to ROS 2 Humble on Jetson AGX Orin with a custom ESP32 safety MCU. First completed 5 autonomous laps on a cone-defined track in April 2026. Beyond the autonomy stack: designed and machined the steering planetary reducer, built the 18650 battery pack with custom BMS, designed and assembled the "Kart Medulla" custom PCB, and led the team's tooling/docs/branch-protection setup. See Driverless Kart for the full story.
Engineer, Autonomous Race Car — Ü Motorsport (2020 – 2022)
First-generation Python perception, planning, and control stack. ~50 Hz end-to-end loop on the same hardware. Foundation for the ROS 2 rewrite that followed.
Other: corruption-investigation research at URJC (2024 – 2025); aeromodelling team at COSMOS (2018 – 2020); independent product builder (Partle, Cyberwheel, investment analysis framework).
Education
- Aerospace Engineering — Aerospace Vehicles, Universidad Rey Juan Carlos, Madrid (2017 – 2026)
- Professional Grade, Piano, Rodolfo Halffter Conservatory, Madrid (2010 – 2020)
