Hello, I'm Andres. I'm a Software Engineer, skilled at test automation & robotics. Currently, I'm focused on Machine Learning.
About me
I'm a passionate Software and Robotics Engineer with a solid background in test automation, robotics, and embedded systems. During my academic years, I gained hands-on experience developing Real-Time Systems and Robotics Systems aimed at solving real industrial problems, and covering areas like systems design, computer vision, perception, navigation and artificial intelligence. As part of this journey, I completed a research stay focused on efficient gait for legged robots where I built a solid foundation in Machine Learning and Advanced Control Systems. I then transitioned into industry as a Test Automation Engineer, contributing to mobile and web testing for smart devices across industrial, commercial, and residential domains under the Behavior-Driven Development and Agile Methodologies.
Outside of coding, I enjoy reading, running, calisthenics, and hiking. I am currently learning German and continuously expanding my knowledge in Machine Learning.
