Currently, I work with the leadership team to set clear priorities and goals for the AI&Robotics Team management, balancing the long-term and immediate needs. Manage strategic vendor and technology partner relationships. Manage IT resource allocation, goal/KPI setting, and performance metrics. Define the company’s overall robotics technology strategy to support business objectives. Make infrastructure decisions, ensuring technical excellence, versatility, safety and soundness, resiliency, and scalability in the architecture and engineering of product solutions, as well as managing all robotics, and AI technical delivery. Ensure tight collaboration across departments to drive strategic initiatives, including understanding, and the alignment between technology strategy and various technology road maps. Create strategic plans and set timelines for evaluation, development, and deployment of all technical, robotics, and AI services.

Kiwi Campus build, and use robots for food delivery. Kiwi is the leader in robotic consumer delivery on a big scale with lower delivery costs in the USA. Kiwibots have supervised semi-autonomy and a huge coverage area. We delivered more orders with robots than all other competitors combined. As an operations specialist, I ensured and planned the logistics and customer deliveries to accomplish the order in less than 30 minutes, also explore new markets, and test new technologies in field.

Software development of a security, recording, and video editing program that using machine learning, computer vision techniques, and integrating third-party libraries allows the streaming of video, edition, and automatically recording of cameras video when a vehicle is identified. The plates or licenses of cars are also detected with an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) and ALPR (Automatic recognition of vehicle licenses) models that were trained and accelerated with GPU for Colombian plates and letters.

Working with the group SIRP (Intelligent Systems, Robotics and Perception), coding 3D image processing methods to get an orthomosaic reconstruction of the scene and so extract characteristics like the biomass factor in rice crops from images transmitted by a quadrotor drone. I also worked in an integrated ROV- based solution for underwater mapping and monitoring of large- lakes fish farms using sonar, computer vision and hydro-climatic data. Researcher assistant in postdoctoral thesis entitle: “An integrated ROV- based solution for underwater mapping and monitoring of large- lakes fish farms using sonar, computer vision and hydro-climatic data”. ROV assembling, mechanical modifications, coding, sensors characterization and assembling, design and construction of mechanical housing for embedded systems and sensors used by the ROV.

System/prototype design and construction to supervise the quality of large water sources such as lakes, lagoons, rivers and seas through the measurement of physical-chemical and microbiological parameters with water column profile method on real-time, giving a detailed variables behavior history and prediction with high precision, reporting any atypical event through alarms like the overflow of variables ranges or polluting wastes harmful to the environment.

Software development and technological solutions through computer vision for medical manufacture industries. Measuring software tools were design and developed to measure and supervise the quality of surgical screws and plates with micro-metric precision.
