UEIPA

Mathematics, Physics, Biology, Business management, Spanish Literature, and English. Scored 1000/1000 on national university entrance exam.

CLES-FACIL, Lyon

Developing a CFRP rocket with pareto optimized aerodynamics. The primary experiment is a controlled recovery system guiding the rocket post-burnout to deliver a payload at a precise altitude and coordinates. Leading a 14p team, and reviving the R&D roadmap for our in-house liquid rocket engine.

CETIM R&D, Cluses

Worked on an MBJ additive manufacturing patent. Autonomously created an app and system that reduced data gathering, filtering, processing, and display from a week of work to a few hours.

Prototype INSA Club, Lyon

Lead Aerodynamics Team implementing Sharkskin and designing AM topological optimized subframes. Won Technical Innovation Prize. Directed technical projects like ECU redesign, brake assembly, and telemetry system.

Free Software Foundation

Movement activism, contributions in code, and translations. Developed a FOSS system for the challenged and elderly, and built and distributed FOSS education tools in Quechuan communities.
