Experience
Mechatronics Engineer & Operations Specialist (Full-Time)
E3C — Chetumal, Quintana Roo, Mexico
January 2024 – Present
(2+ years)
Designed, refurbished, and expanded automatic and fixed capacitor banks (240 kVAr each) that eliminated 21% utility penalties and unlocked 32% higher production capacity at two aggregate plants with <2-month ROI.
>
Reduced idle time of 120+ heavy machines from 35% to 18%, saving ~755 machine hours per week, significantly cutting fuel consumption and maintenance costs through real-time telemetry, auto-shutdown logic, operator incentives, and data-driven management.
>
Built and deployed a complete machine failure tracking system (Microsoft Forms → Power Automate → Excel → Planner Kanban) that replaced fragmented reporting with real-time, auditable workflows and live visibility for site managers.
>
Led company-wide Microsoft 365 transformation for 95 users as Global Administrator — deployed Teams, Planner, and Power BI dashboards that automated production, cost, and payroll reporting.
>
Embedded Systems Engineer (Part-Time)
Vamia Solutions — Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico
January 2023 – December 2023 (1 year)
Designed and prototyped four custom low-power BLE sensor beacons (AC detection, temperature, water/leak, door status) from concept to production-ready hardware using PIC microcontrollers + BT832L SoC.
>
Achieved $18/unit full production cost while outperforming competitors priced at $50–$120. Optimized firmware for ~1.5-year battery life on CR2477 cells.
>
Developed complete C firmware for sensor acquisition, event detection, BLE advertising, low-power modes, and robust error handling. Full hardware-firmware validation completed prior to client delivery.
>
Assistant Lab Technician (Servicio Social)
Universidad Anáhuac Mayab — Mérida, Yucatán, Mexico
January 2021 – July 2021
(6 months)
Provided hands-on technical training and support to over 100 engineering students in electronics, automation, and manufacturing labs.
>
Maintained, troubleshot, and repaired professional lab equipment (oscilloscopes, function generators, CNC machines, soldering stations) to ensure zero-downtime learning environment.

Education
B.S. in Mechatronics Engineering
Anáhuac Mayab University, Mérida, Mexico
August 2019 - December 2023
GPA: 9.04/10 (equivalent to ~3.8/4 US scale)
Graduated from one of Mexico’s top private universities with a solid technical foundation through intensive hands-on projects and labs in embedded systems, power electronics, industrial automation, control theory, and electropneumatic systems. Delivered multiple projects with perfect 10/10 scores — a custom 3-phase VFD, a 5-PLC automated production line with custom inter-PLC protocols, a 3-DOF robotic arm with custom PID, and a Factory I/O digital twin — all developed from scratch with focus on deep understanding, efficiency, and reliability rather than rote memorization. These experiences directly support my ability to prototype and deploy high-impact embedded and automation solutions in industry.
