Who I Am

I am a Mechatronics Engineering student at Ibero Puebla and part of FabLab Puebla, Mexico.

I have always been interested in how technology works and how engineering can turn ideas into real solutions.

What inspired me to study engineering was the idea that automation can simplify repetitive tasks and improve people's daily lives.

I especially enjoy electronics and design because they allow me to combine creativity with problem solving.

For me, technology should feel useful, intuitive and meaningful.

Why I Build

Ancora

A wearable project focused on helping people during anxiety attacks.

My final project, Ancora, was inspired by people close to me who experience anxiety attacks.

Seeing how vulnerable someone can feel during those moments made me want to explore how technology could provide support in a more accessible and personal way.

Through this project, I want to combine electronics, sensors and wearable design to create something that can genuinely help people feel safer and calmer.

I believe engineering becomes more meaningful when it is used to improve someone’s quality of life.

Beyond Engineering

Hiking

Being outdoors helps me disconnect and recharge.

Gym

Training helps me stay disciplined and focused.

Movies & Reading

I enjoy stories and ideas that inspire creativity.

Outside of engineering, I enjoy hiking, going to the gym, reading, watching movies and spending time with friends.

I also enjoy learning new things outside my comfort zone, especially when they connect creativity with technology.

Looking Forward

In the future, I would like to work on innovative projects, especially in environments where new ideas can quickly evolve into real products.

I am interested in startups, embedded systems, wearable technology and product development.

Fab Academy has become an important step for me because it is helping me connect design, digital fabrication and engineering into a single workflow.
