Hello, I'm Andres. I'm a Robotics & Digital Systems Engineer, skilled at embedded systems & mobile robots. Currently, I'm focused on Machine Learning.
About me
I'm a passionate Robotics Engineer with a solid background in embedded systems and autonomous mobile robots. During my first years, I achieved hands-on experience developing Real-Time Systems on SoC like an FPGA and ESP32, and other architectures such as AVR and ARM. Looking for new challenges, I spent the rest of my academic years working with Robotics Systems aiming to solve real industrial problems like autonomous vehicles and robotic arms development, covering topics like computer vision, perception and navigation mostly. Also, I did a research stay focused on legged robots where I learned the fundamentals of Legged Locomotion.
When I'm not coding, I enjoy running, calisthenics, and hiking. I also enjoy learning new things. I am currently learning German and Machine Learning.
