Summary I am a graduate in Mechanical Engineering with a Master's in Automatic Control and Robotics, deeply passionate about designing and building autonomous systems. My expertise spans the entire development process—from mechanical design and robotic integration to software programming in languages like C++, Python, and frameworks such as ROS. Additionally, I have a strong academic background in algorithms for robot control and computer vision. What drives me the most is not just the skills I've acquired but the joy of applying them to solve complex problems.
