Synopsis
I was born in Caracas, Venezuela and moved to San Jose, California when I was 10 years old. I lived in California while completing my studies at the University of San Francisco and the University of Southern California, completing a B.S. in physics and a B.S. in electrical engineering as part of the 3/2 Engineering program.
After graduating I began working for Lockheed Martin as a Hardware Engineer in the Sunnyvale, CA location. I worked there for two years on various programs. I then transitioned to a Radar Systems Engineer position with Lockheed Martin’s office in Moorestown, NJ where I contributed to numerous efforts over a span of three years.
Five years into the private industry I decided to return for graduate studies and began my Master’s in mechanical engineering at Carnegie Mellon University with a concentration in robotic and control systems.
My studies in physics, electrical engineering and robotics provide me with a unique background which allows me to consider many approaches and solutions to a problem. This foundation is complemented by my experience in the defense industry specializing in hardware and later radar systems engineering, working on a variety of programs and efforts. In my time at Lockheed Martin I contributed to failure analysis, algorithm design, testing and simulation, requirements engineering and future capabilities development.
