Hi, I'm Max.
Welcome to my portfolio, I'm glad you're here!
I’m an MS in Robotics student at Northwestern University and a Telematics Engineer graduated from Universidad de Montevideo.
My professional and personal journey has been driven by a deep passion for the fusion of mechanics, electronics, and software — the core of robotics. I’m a hands-on innovator, enthusiastic about solving complex problems and bringing ideas to life.
I have industry experience on Industrial Automation and Robotics, having worked on design, implementation and deployment of solutions for diverse applications. I developed specific knowledge of palletizing solutions, having participated in both collaborative and non-collaborative projects.
More recently I transitioned to a role as Software Engineer. I sharpened my software skills and developed Machine Learning-powered applications using Natural Language Processing and could-based deployment.
Apart from my professional experience, I’m a robotics enthusiast and hobbyist, and have been working on personal projects for a few years.
