I'm a Mechatronics Engineering student at Tecnológico de Monterrey (ITESM), currently in my 4th semester. My focus is on AI, robotics, and automation — designing systems that think, move, and optimize in real time.

As part of Borregos Racing, I helped our team achieve 2nd place at Shell Eco-marathon in both the Americas and Brazil editions (2025), reaching a peak energy efficiency of 373.2 km/kWh in the Prototype Battery-Electric category.

I'm also developing a lower-limb passive exoskeleton — chairless chair type — designed to support workers in semi-seated postures without a physical chair. The device transfers body weight through a locking mechanical linkage at the knee directly to the ground, reducing muscle fatigue during prolonged standing-work cycles.

Chairless Chair — Lower-Limb Passive Exoskeleton

Designing and building a passive lower-limb exoskeleton that allows users to assume a stable semi-seated posture without a chair. A locking linkage mechanism at the knee transfers body weight through the exoskeleton frame directly to the floor, eliminating static muscular load on legs and lower back. Target applications include industrial assembly lines and physical rehabilitation. Designed with an adjustable aluminum frame, 3D-printed articulation joints, and a quick-release buckle system.
