Summary

I am a Mechatronics Engineer with more than 7 years experience in automation projects specially at the automotive industry. Have had the opportunity to work with Allen Bradley and Siemens PLCs, for HMIs I've worked with Ignition software from Inductive Automation, FactoryTalk View SE and WinCC. Aside of that I have made improvements to robot programs in material handling and dispense applications, from commissioning to cycle time reduction processes. Also have been responsible for electrical and pneumatic design in Eplan software. Finally I'm a person with great sense of responsibility, ownership and will always do the best to resolve any challenge that comes my way.
