What career or personal update would you like to give to your fellow Florida Tech Panthers alumni?

Over my career, I have focused on the aerospace sector, but I have always had a great affinity for projects that use data to optimize different aspects of the system engineering activities I was involved in. This has led me to work for MasOrange, the biggest telco in Spain, launching projects focused on Big Data and AI. My activities are now focused on the new technologies needed to achieve the highest possible ROI by using AI in all of its capabilities. This new activity has positioned me right in the middle of this technological revolution.

How did your time at Florida Tech help get you to where you are today?

During my time at Florida Tech, I was able to work with people from all over the world. This experience has allowed me to be a great team member in all the companies I have worked in. Additionally, my senior project has been a great representation of how my day-to-day work functions today

What is your favorite Florida Tech memory?

Super hard to say, but seeing our senior project APART fly for the first time is up there. Other thank that I would say that I do miss the Chicken Buffalo wraps... Do they still have that?

Was there a mentor or professor who had a big impact on you personally and/or professionally?

All the professors at the Aeronautics College, I would say that the metholody that they used has held me to a higher standard that has directly affect my work perfomance.
