Industrial engineer specialized on electronic products design. I have experience in embedded software development, hardware and 3D design and PCB assembly. I funded two companies and currently I'm in the software department of an automotive project developing embedded software for ADAS devices.

Short bio

Industrial engineer from Málaga based in Barcelona passionate for technology and R&D.

In 2014 I started a company focused on developing electronic devices. There we managed the entire product cycle: from device definition according to the customer ideas, prototyping phase and final design to preseries and mass production.

In that period I developed my skills on different areas: business and project management, technical development and sales.

In 2017 I took part on the creation of a electronic assembly business where I worked on all processes of electronic assembly in both manual and automatic.

Now I joined a new automotive project developing embedded software for ECU, specifically for Advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
