With a degree in Mechatronics Technology, I've consistently applied theoretical knowledge to practical industrial scenarios. I hold NR10 certification, ensuring full compliance with electrical safety standards and procedures in industrial environments. Skilled in electrical sizing and design, including cable dimensioning, load calculations, circuit breakers, and power devices. Hands-on experience in assembly, maintenance, and troubleshooting of electrical panels, inverters, and drives, with a strong focus on safety and operational efficiency.

As an Automation Specialist, I have consistently worked in close collaboration with Product Engineering, contributing to the development of skids and custom devices for robotic line solutions. In new projects, I played a key role in defining the technical scope for supplier quotations, ensuring alignment with operational requirements and engineering standards. I also managed commissioning activities, overseeing system integration and performance validation, while leading outsourced teams to ensure timely delivery and quality execution.

I actively participated in five robotic commissioning projects, including four with DURR robots and one with ABB. • The first two were carried out as an Integrator at Verind, focusing on DURR robotic painting systems. • The third and fourth were completed at Plascar, also involving DURR painting lines, where I contributed to system integration and performance validation. • The fifth project involved ABB robots, where I led the commissioning of the RS software and its integration with physical stations at Nicro Bolta in Mexico.

People and Automation Leader with strong operational and technical expertise in the automotive industry. Proven track record in managing multidisciplinary teams and driving performance in high-demand environments. As Operations Manager at Stellantis Group, led technical support contracts in the automotive painting sector, ensuring service quality and operational efficiency. Later, as an Automation Specialist at Plascar, managed a team of 8 robotics technicians, focusing on talent development, industrial robot programming, and the seamless operation of automated painting lines. Recognized for fostering team growth, optimizing processes, and delivering consistent results aligned with production goals. Academic Background: Bachelor's degree in Managerial Processes and Postgraduate specialization in International Trade, combining business acumen with global market insight to support strategic decision-making and cross-border operations.

Extensive expertise in manufacturing processes, with deep knowledge of automotive body painting and plastic painting technologies. Training in Lean Six Sigma Green Belt and trained in World Class Manufacturing (WCM) principles, reinforcing a strong foundation in continuous improvement, process efficiency, and waste reduction. Skilled in identifying bottlenecks, implementing corrective actions, and driving operational excellence through data-driven decision-making and hands-on technical leadership.

Undoubtedly, research is an essential part of a technology professional's daily routine. The rapid pace of innovation demands that each project be approached with structured research methodologies to ensure tasks are executed with greater precision, adaptability, and technical excellence. By continuously exploring new tools, techniques, and trends, I stay ahead of industry developments and apply the most effective solutions to complex challenges.
