๐Ÿ‘ค About Me

I am an industrial engineering student specializing in mechatronics and robotics, with a solid background in electronics. I design PCBs in KiCad, write C/C++ firmware for microcontrollers (ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry), and develop complete embedded systems, from the circuit to the web dashboard.

๐ŸŽฏ Goal: An R&D role in the design of electronic and robotic systems, where I can combine hardware and software skills.
