Project history

Co-founder - CTO

MateWare Electronics Studio (MATEWARE S.A.S.)
Technical lead of the engineering team: defining system and firmware architecture, running design reviews and making technology decisions across railway transport, industrial telemetry and medical equipment products shipped in production runs of several hundred units. Built firmware and hardware for a wireless control system for railway platform doors. Designed the architecture and firmware of MoTI, the studio's own industrial telemetry product. Developed embedded touch user interfaces with LVGL across several products.

Lab Instructor and Teaching Assistant

UTN-FRM and Universidad de Mendoza
Lead instructor for tutorial and laboratory sessions in Signals and Systems Analysis at UTN-FRM (since 2025) and Applied Electronics at Universidad de Mendoza (since 2024). Teaching assistant in Circuit Theory 2 (2023-2024) and Electronic Physics (2019-2021) at UTN-FRM.

Researcher - Firmware and architecture

GRID TICs, CeReCoN, UTN
Firmware and system architecture for an R&D project on IoT connectivity applied to metal trellis posts in viticulture.

Electronics Engineer

Lixsys S.A.
Developed firmware on STM32 for high-frequency sensing with SPI data acquisition and embedded telemetry for production lines. Tested and tuned analogue conditioning stages with an oscilloscope and signal generator.

Researcher

LEMD, CeReCoN, UTN
Designed a low-cost electrometer with femtoampere (fA) sensitivity for charge characterisation of nanomaterials, including shielding and interference control. Final engineering project in collaboration with the Zentrum fur Energietechnik at Technische Universitat Ilmenau.

Gate Drivers - Support of Technical Marketing (Industrial Power Control), internship

Infineon Technologies AG
Designed the schematic and control firmware for the AC-15 standard test (IEC 60947-5-1) to validate a solid-state relay with zero-voltage turn-on, zero-current turn-off and energy recovery. Developed a solid-state relay end to end: schematic, layout, PCB assembly and test with an IRS25751L gate driver, firmware in DAvE IDE on XMC7200, and technical documentation.
