Robotics Engineer · Co-founder Wetechfood Robotics · International Patent

Biography

My journey in robotics began over a decade ago when I designed and built my first robot. Since then, I’ve combined my passion for technology with art to create disruptive solutions that transform industries.

As co-founder and Chief Robotics Officer at Wetechfood Robotics, I lead teams to develop robots that operate in Spain’s first fully robotic restaurant. I hold an international patent and have worked on projects ranging from robots for the wind industry to Bolivia’s first 3D printer.

Beyond technology, I firmly believe in personal development and positive psychology. I combine engineering precision with artistic creativity, always seeking to create products that not only work but inspire.
