Two disciplines.One engineer.

I bring hands-on experience in mechanical systems engineering, and I build autonomous machines from the ground up. Two disciplines held to the same standard — the rigor of the profession, the range of the workshop.

// Discipline 01

Mechanical Engineering

Hands-on experience across mechanical systems and equipment engineering, feasibility studies, and construction-phase support — the discipline of real projects in the built environment.

// Discipline 02

Robotics & Hardware

Autonomous machines built from the ground up — 3D-printed chassis, custom wiring, embedded control, and the software that drives them — the range of the workshop.

Discipline 01 — Engineering

Systems that get built.

Mechanical work across the full project lifecycle — from equipment siting and feasibility studies through construction-phase support, where drawings meet the field and the systems actually have to run.

Equipment & systems engineering

Hands-on with mechanical equipment for the built environment — deaerators, pumps, and piping systems — evaluating performance, layout, and cost trade-offs across competing configurations.

Siting & feasibility studies

Equipment placement and layout trade-off analysis — weighing mechanical, structural, and piping cost implications to support a clear, defensible decision path.

Construction-phase support

Submittals, RFIs, and contractor coordination through active construction — keeping the build moving and the installed systems true to the intent of the drawings.

Systems compliance review

Reviewing mechanical and plumbing drawings against regulatory requirements — reconciling design intent with agency review comments through resubmission and approval.

Discipline 02 — Robotics & Design

Built from scratch.

Not kits. Every build starts as a bare idea — modeled in CAD, printed and wired, brought to life with embedded control and software. From autonomous rovers to articulated humanoids to full-scale structures, each project takes on harder problems than the last.

Flagship build ATLAS autonomous field rover with tank treads and manipulator arm, in a field-log viewfinder

ATLAS — autonomous field rover

A fully custom, 3D-printed autonomous field rover with tank treads and a working manipulator arm — built from the ground up, boards and wiring included. Structured as a mission series where each new challenge (rough terrain, the claw, night ops, sample return, full autonomy) drives a real hardware or software upgrade.

5-DOF robotic arm

A five-degree-of-freedom robotic arm with base rotation, articulated joints, and a parallel-jaw gripper — modeled from the ground up, with servo-driven actuation and 3D-printed structural components.

Design TITAN humanoid robot CAD model with articulated arms, legs, and servo joints

TITAN — humanoid robot

A fully articulated bipedal humanoid modeled from the ground up — servo-driven arms, legs, and head across dozens of degrees of freedom, with 3D-printed structure engineered around off-the-shelf actuators.

Personal project Twin-hull houseboat CAD render with glass cabin and upper sundeck

Houseboat concept

A twin-hull houseboat modeled end to end — pontoon hulls, a glass-walled cabin, and an upper sundeck. A personal project that pushed the same CAD discipline from part-scale mechatronics up to a full liveable structure.

About

The engineer who also solders.

I'm a mechanical engineer based in Puerto Rico working across active construction and design projects — the kind of work where a system on paper has to survive contact with the field. I'm on track for my PE license, the near-term milestone I'm building toward.

The other half of my time goes into robotics and hardware. I build autonomous machines end to end — mechanical design, custom electronics, embedded firmware, and control software — because the fastest way I know to understand a system is to build the whole thing myself.

Longer term, I'm working toward my own company: engineering services first, hardware second, software third — a path from consultancy into robotics and hardware for the built environment.

Get in touch

Let's build something.

Whether it's a mechanical system that needs to get built or a machine that needs to move — I'd like to hear about it.
