Experience
2022 - 2024
Software Engineer.
Unmanned Vehicles Applied Dynamics (UVAD).
Medicine Hat, AB.
Working in the development of software for the next generation of UAVs. My experience covers the planning and implementation of robust vehicle applications and the accompanying software in ground control stations using primarily C/C++ and Python.
2021 - 2022
Lead Electrical Engineer.
aUToronto.
Toronto, ON.
A self driving car is an ambitious project for many teams to tackle. In 2022, I guided aUToronto's electrical team in the effort to develop a synchronization system for the car's sensor suite (LiDAR, Camera, IMU, GPS, Radar) using FPGAs.
The team also managed the installation of hardware with a focus on safety and modularity.
2021 - 2022
ADCS Project Advisor
UTAT
Toronto, ON.
The FINCH mission will act as a remote-sensing CubeSat for studies of methane emissions.
​
Still in early development, my participation included the review and implementation of state estimation algorithms for the satellite using MATLAB and Simulink.
May 2018 - Dec 2018
Research Assistant.
Universidad San Francisco de Quito
Quito, Ecuador.
Ecuador is a country blessed with the magnificent Andes Mountains. However, it also translates in high seismic activity.
​
For my research, I employed state-of-the art DSP techniques for seismic signal processing and event classification.
Education
2020 - 2022
University of Toronto
Master of Engineering
Toronto, ON.
My path to obtain the M.Eng degree at University of Toronto Institute for Aerospace Studies (UTIAS) focused on many important fields in robotics and spaceflight.
​
The completion of the emphasis in robotics encouraged me to learn about: perception, control, orbital/flight dynamics, state estimation and motion planning among other topics.
2014 - 2019
Universidad San Francisco de Quito
Bachelor of Electrical Engineering
Minor in Philosophy
Quito, Ecuador.
My story started with a relentless curiosity for electronics and technology. For my undergrad studies I pursued Electrical engineering where I discovered relevant knowledge in analog/digital circuits design, DSP, FPGA programming, and many more.
​
I also fell in love with philosophy and worked to complete a minor with my degree.
