Bio

I am a Systems Engineer and Project Management Specialist with experience in digital fabrication, technological innovation, robotics, automation, functional prototyping, and the development of digital solutions.

Since 2022, I have been directly involved in the growth and consolidation of FabLab EAN at Universidad EAN in Bogotá, Colombia. My work has contributed to the technical, operational, academic, and administrative development of the lab, including user support, documentation, inventory management, maintenance follow-up, internal procedures, resource traceability, purchasing support, SAP-related processes, and the continuous improvement of laboratory operations.

My professional profile combines technical expertise with project management capabilities. I have experience supporting and leading interdisciplinary projects from requirements gathering and planning to execution, documentation, validation, and delivery. I work with students, faculty, researchers, and institutional teams to transform ideas and needs into functional prototypes, technological solutions, and applied innovation projects.

I have hands-on experience with digital fabrication technologies such as FDM and SLA 3D printing, laser cutting and engraving, CNC machining, PCB fabrication, electronics, embedded systems, sensors, actuators, Arduino, ESP32, CAD/CAM workflows, SolidWorks, Fusion 360, and Carvera CAM. I also work with software and automation tools including Python, C++, Ubuntu/Linux, n8n, APIs, chatbots, and applied artificial intelligence.

I successfully completed Fab Academy 2025, strengthening my multidisciplinary approach to digital fabrication, documentation, electronics, programming, design, CNC, 3D printing, laser cutting, embedded systems, and functional prototyping. In 2026, I am involved as an instructor for the FabLab EAN node, supporting learning processes, technical mentoring, documentation, and knowledge transfer under the FabLab philosophy.

I believe in the FabLab values of community, documentation, experimentation, collaboration, and open knowledge. My goal is to help strengthen FabLab EAN as a space where education, research, entrepreneurship, and technology converge to create meaningful solutions with local and global impact.

I am especially interested in digital fabrication education, Fab Academy, robotics, open knowledge, process improvement, technological sustainability, microcredentials, automation, and the development of innovation ecosystems connected to the global Fab Foundation network.
