Robotics, space and new challenges enthusiast. In 2017 I obtained a full scholarship to study at the Balseiro Institute where I trained as a Mechanical Engineer with solid knowledge in physics, mathematics, programming and engineering sciences. In 2020 I obtained my degree and continued my formal studies in the Master in Engineering Program at the same institution.In 2020, I started working at Skyloom Global, a Sillicon Valley company that develops optical terminals for inter-satellite communications. I am currently working as engineer in the PAT (Pointing, Acquisition and Tracking) subsystem developing pointing calculations, error budgets, optical alignment methods, control systems for mechanisms, etc. Thanks to the work I do at Skyloom, I had the opportunity to travel to the facilities in the United States where I carried out laboratory work in a clean room.In 2020, I founded and co-led a multidisciplinary team of young people from all over Argentina and we developed a rover capable of performing missions to explore the lunar soil on a planned trip to the Moon starting in 2024. A big challenge we had to face was to work on this project remotely without even knowing each other prior to the formation of the team, which required leadership skills. The team participated in the international Open Space competition, which we won in 2021 with our project and managed to attract the interest of international space agencies and companies. Currently, the team, called Spacebee Technologies, continues to develop an advanced model of the rover while it keeps on inspiring young people to take part in challenging projects with a high component of innovation and technology.Passionate about learning, throughout my life I have learned to speak three languages fluently (English, French and Italian) apart from my native language (Spanish), and I am studying two other languages (German and Chinese). In my free time I enjoy trekking, playing guitar, reading, practicing sports (karate) and spending time with my family and friends.I am constantly on the lookout for opportunities to learn, enhance my professional career and have fun!
