About
I’m interested in wearable technology, data, and building things that connect research with everyday life. I enjoy combining technical work with design and storytelling.
Research Interests
- Interest 1 – Wearables.
- Interest 2 – Health.
- Interest 3 – Machine Learning.
Selected Projects
I am designing a low-cost smart insole with FSR sensors and a Raspberry Pi to measure how people walk in everyday environments. The system collects plantar pressure data, sends it over Bluetooth to a smartphone, and generates visualizations and logs for later analysis. I am currently testing it with a small group of 3–4 people, and I am adding machine learning features to create gait profiles and send real-time alerts. This project combines my interests in wearable devices, circuit design, signal processing, and making health-related technology more accessible.
• Led the fully automation of the inventory and medicine dispatch process • Assembled a scheduling system to digitalize the creation and tracking of appointments
Developed and maintained modules for the bank's proprietary web application used by executives across 11,000+ branches, enabling e cient access, organization, and analysis of customer information to support credit decisions
Hobbies
These sections describe some of the activities and interests that shape my perspective outside of formal work or study.
Fashion & Style
Clothing is one of my main forms of expression. I enjoy outfits that break monotony and suggest a story or mood.
Cosplay lets me inhabit characters and worlds I love. It combines design, craft, and performance in a playful way.
I enjoy posing for photos or styling looks. It is partly performance and partly a way to see how ideas translate visually.
Conventions & Pop Culture
I have volunteered at conventions like Comic-Con, Anime Expo, and WonderCon. These spaces taught me to interact with new people, work in teams, and appreciate the communities around art and fandom.
I enjoy pop culture in many forms—from animation and music channels to sketch comedy and cartoons. I like seeing how humor, design, and timing reflect collective ideas.
Color & Art
Color affects how I think and feel. I pay attention to combinations that create balance, contrast, or surprise.
Solving a Rubik’s Cube quickly is a playful way to explore patterns and algorithms in a very tangible way. My personal best is approximately 19 seconds—though I haven’t practiced in over a decade.
I admire people and media that make technology more human. Stories about figures like Grace Hopper. Since I was a child, Canal Once—a free public channel run by a university in Mexico City—was a major source of inspiration for me. Its children’s educational programs were creative, clear, and deeply inspiring, and they sparked my interest in learning and sharing knowledge from an early age.
Museums, painting, and history help me see how each era leaves traces in images and narratives. I like watching how techniques and stories evolve over time.
I often watch documentaries about art, science, or culture to see how complex topics can be explained clearly.
Cities & Culture
Mexico City inspires me with its layered history, museums, and neighborhoods. It feels like walking through many times at once.
Boleros and older songs create a sense of nostalgia for places and eras I never lived in but somehow feel connected to.
The north, in particular, music, and identity. I appreciate it more as I grow older.
I like the precision and emotion of tango, I love Valz tango. It combines structure with intensity.
Media & Storytelling
I’ve also won movie trivia competitions, including twice winning the national Cinemex trivia by correctly predicting the Oscar results, which earned me free movies for a year each time. I also won a regional trivia event hosted by a television network, which gave me access to premieres (unfortunately, this was in 2020…). I enjoy analyzing cinematography, especially in horror films—how framing, sound, and silence work together to build tension.
I enjoy poetry, especially modernist work, which I became more interested in after watching Paterson. I also enjoy haikus, and I like writing poetry in three languages—it helps me play with rhythm, tone, and meaning in different ways.
Science & Learning
Mathematics feels like a precise language for patterns and structure. It helps me think clearly.
I care about technology that is useful and accessible to people. I am especially interested in open-source and inclusive design.
Programming feels a bit like running: repetitive, focused, and eventually freeing. I like how it combines logic with creativity.
Languages & Expression
Learning languages helps me understand different ways of thinking. Each new structure or phrase opens a small window into another culture.
I spend about 6% of my day—every single day—listening to music, and even more time outside a certain platform. Over the years, I’ve explored new genres, learned how samples are made, and gotten curious about the origins of different musical styles. I really enjoy listening to full albums, discovering how each track fits into a bigger story. Music and singing are ways for me to relax and express emotion. I enjoy songs that tell stories or play with harmony.
Life & Motion
Dogs make me laugh and keep me grounded. Their presence makes ordinary days better.
Running helps clear my mind and often gives me space to think through ideas or decisions.
Games combine logic, narrative, and design. I like how interactive stories can feel different each time.
I love exploring international gastronomy and trying dishes from different cultures. Some of my favorites are Greek food, “tacos árabes,” German dishes, and Ecuadorian cuisine, among many others. Discovering new flavors is one of my favorite ways to learn about a place and its traditions.
Airports and airplanes fascinate me as symbols of movement, change, and connection between places.
I spend about at least three hours a day reading about different topics.
