Education

Ph.D Computer Science

2025 - 2030

Lehigh University, Bethlehem, PA

Currently I am doing my Ph.D in Computer Science at Lehigh University, I am working on Learning based methods for adaptation in Authonomous Vehicles.

M.Sc Electrical Engineering

2024 - 2025

Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, AZ

As a graduate Research Assistant at NAU, I work with the f1tenth platform where I tested three fundamental model predictive control methods and compare them on simulation and in the real car experiments on the cubicles at NAU.

B.Sc Electronic Engineering

2015 - 2021

Universidad de Ibagué, Ibague, Tol

As Electronic Engineer from the Universidad de Ibagué I developed skills to design, analyze and make scientific evaluation in projects in the fields of control systems, Robotics engineering, electronic automation, digital systems, communication systems and biomedic electronic systems.

Professional Experience

Robotics Engineer

2024

Windrobo , Remote

At Windrobo, I worked with the hardware and software implementation in UAV systems. For the hardware side I focused on the setup of speed control calibration, flight controller installation, and firmware developing. On the other hand, I support the robotics team developing ROS nodes for the arm control, flight controller, image processing and trajectories design.

Robotics Engineer

2023 - 2024

Void Robotics , Remote

At Void Robotics, as a Robotics Engineer, I specialise in utilising ROS1, ROS2, C++, and Python to develop navigation systems for our robots. I leverage nav2 for autonomous navigation, implementing algorithms for perception and execution. Additionally, I was working with Gazebo for realistic virtual environment simulations and RViz for real-time visualisation and analysis of sensor data, mapping, and navigation results.

Campus Coordinator

2022

Kiwibot, Bethlehem, PA, USA

At kiwibot I was working as a campus coordinator doing maintenance technician to on site fleet of robots, logistic operations and data engineering, using tools for data analysis suchs as pandas, python, BigQuery and PostgreSQL.

Software Developer

2021 - 2022

Alfapeople, Remote

At Alfapeople I did activities by the role of Software Developer of the CRM tool Dynamics 365, where I used X++ language and SQL to Microsoft enterprise resource planning for medium and large organizations

Electronic Engineer Intern

2019 - 2020

Energyt SAS, Ibague, Tol, COL
