I'm a Mechatronics Engineer working at the intersection of embedded firmware, avionics hardware, and control theory. I design and validate control systems in research and industry — from a robotics lab at AIST in Tokyo to firmware for VantTec's autonomous vehicles — and now run an independent practice delivering full-cycle hardware-software products, from PCB to firmware to validated control, for clients in different sectors.
🌐 Portfolio site — coming soon.
Embedded Firmware — real-time control for STM32/ESP32, from motor control to safety-critical logic, validated through HIL/SIL testing.
PCB & Avionics Design — multilayer PCBs in Altium, including UAV/drone avionics: flight controllers, ESCs, companion computers.
Control Systems Validation — PID/LQR/MPC design, proven on Quanser HIL rigs and in MATLAB/Simulink before it ever touches real hardware.
It's one arc, not a pile of one-offs: control theory, proven on hardware, then flown.
It started on the ground — a scaled Ackermann autonomous vehicle on STM32, fusing IMU and ultrasonic data for closed-loop navigation. That control foundation moved into the air with MPC trajectory control for a Quanser quadrotor, validated on Hardware-in-the-Loop before any real flight. From there into avionics, leading the electronics subsystem for Tec de Monterrey's entry in SAE AeroDesign Mexico, and into a payload computer for UAVs with ESP32-based flight payload firmware.
Currently designing a UAV flight-controller PCB in Altium — schematic to flight-ready hardware.
Taking on new freelance and consulting work in embedded firmware, PCB/avionics design, and control systems validation.
