account_circleProfessional Profile

Mining and Metallurgical Engineer from UNAM with experience in the environmental engineering, logistics, and mining sectors, specializing in natural resource management, industrial process optimization, and regulatory compliance. Skilled in leading interdisciplinary projects, coordinating teams, and implementing solutions aimed at improving operational efficiency and reducing environmental impact.

I directed my analytical focus towards the technology sector, working as a Quality Assurance (QA) Engineer while pursuing a Software Development Engineering degree at Mexico's Open and Distance Learning University (UNADM), where I apply a dual development and testing perspective to ensure software quality across web, desktop, and mobile platforms by implementing testing practices throughout the development lifecycle.
