About Me

Hi Everyone!

My technology journey began in middle school robotics, where I discovered the challenge and excitement of designing and building solutions alongside a team. At UF, I have grown this foundation by leading technical projects and initiatives within the Hispanic community, turning ideas into tangible solutions that connect and empower others. My work blends engineering expertise with creative problem-solving, guided by a commitment to leverage technology as a force for collaboration and meaningful impact.
