Leadership System Architect: Lead and designed the system architecture for three ongoing embedded systems projects
Roles & at Bresslergroup: an IoT home appliance and two medical-oriented products. Currently four developers (myself
Projects included) are developing code for the systems designed.
Robotic Opera: Lead a team of engineers and designers on the development of an entertainment robot with
complex dynamics. The robot played a part on an opera play of the Myth of Orpheus featuring singers from the
Opera of Philadelphia.
Robockey: Lead the electronics design of a team of autonomous mobile robots that played ice-hockey against
other teams. Created an ingenious hot-swap circuit that allow robots to join to create a more powerful robot.

Work Electrical Engineer June 2015 Present


Experience Bresslergroup, Philadelphia, PA, USA
Architected and designed the electronics for a battery powered medical device circuit used to sanitize bed
areas in hospitals to prevent the spread of viruses. Developed code and algorithms to drive the sanitation
process in ways that maximize effectiveness while minimizing battery use.
Designed the electronics and software architecture for a prototype medical device for use by surgeons on
heart-related surgeries. Developed motor control code for device proof-of-concept.
Designed the system architecture for an IoT home appliance (Wi-Fi connected). Developed code to abstract the
hardware layer, allowing other developers to easily add features to the system.
Debugged complex real-time system bugs on multiple projects, tracking down their root cause to either
software bugs or hardware bugs. Performed hardware bring-up on new prototypes and performed hardware
fixes to boards that presented issues, allowing development to continue while boards were fixed and re-spun.

Research Assistant Oct 2014 June 2015


Modular Robotics Lab (ModLab), University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA
Designed test equipment that facilitates the debugging and verification of complex robot hardware (both
electronics and mechanical components), allowing the rapid manufacturing of current and future robots.
Debugged software and hardware issues on modular robots, finding the root cause for elusive system bugs.

Embedded Engineer (Internship) May 2014 Aug 2014


Lutron Electronics, Inc. Coopersburg, PA, USA
Designed and developed, within a multi-disciplinary team, the addition of a new communication protocol
standard into an existing Lutron product, allowing its expansion into a new market segment.
Debugged complex real-time software and hardware to find and correct defects in a Lutron product, improving
costumer experience.

Electronic Design Engineer Nov 2012 Aug 2013


CIEL Ingeniera, Bogot, Colombia
Designed and developed an electronic board which consolidated the functionality of three different products
of the company into one single board, reducing the cost of manufacturing and simplifying assembly.
Improved an existing project by implementing a new programming structure that allowed the introduction of
new features within the same project timeframe and with the same costs.
