Graduate in Automation Engineering, always in tech
I graduated as an Automation Engineer from the Universidad Tecnológica de la Habana "José Antonio Echeverría" (CUJAE) in 2023, after years of teaching, research, and hands-on hardware work. My undergraduate thesis — designing the hardware for a weather station called Vórtice — turned out to be more than an academic exercise: it became the seed of a company.
In 2021, while still finishing my degree, I co-founded ESPOLETA Tecnologías with three other engineers. What started as a way to build affordable local hardware grew into a recognized Cuban MSME with national press coverage. I currently serve as Director of Technology Development.
At the same time, I never left academia. Since 2023 I've been pursuing a Ph.D. in Physics at the Universidad de la Habana, and since 2025 a second Ph.D. in Engineering and Technology at the Université libre de Bruxelles — both centered on environmental sensing and water quality monitoring.
