HARDWARE ENGINEERING · CIUDAD REAL, SPAIN

Hardware
Engineer.

Electronics designed for life beyond CAD.

I am a hardware engineer with a background in automation, electronic design and embedded systems. I focus on turning requirements into clear architectures, documented designs and hardware that can be verified under real-world conditions.

01 / Selected work

Featured projects

Personal projects documented from problem and architecture to schematic, PCB and validation plans. Designed features are clearly distinguished from tested results.

02 / Engineering mindset

My engineering approach

Hardware development is more than drawing circuits: it means making decisions that can be explained, reviewed and verified.

01

Define requirements

Functions, constraints, operating context and success criteria.

02

Design architecture

Subsystems, options, interfaces and engineering trade-offs.

03

Implement hardware

Components, circuits, PCB and reproducible documentation.

04

Verify and learn

Reviews, prototypes, measurements and iterations when applicable.

03 / Background

About me

From field engineering to electronic systems design.

I hold a degree in Automation Engineering from the Technological University of Havana. My career began with integration, commissioning and troubleshooting of electronic and automation systems.

That experience exposed me to the problems that arise when electronics must operate in real installations. I later shifted my focus toward hardware architecture, component selection, schematic design, PCB layout and technical documentation.

Today I continue developing as a hardware engineer, with a particular interest in physical product development: defining the problem, justifying design choices and learning through validation.

04 / Track record

Professional experience

A background combining field deployment and commissioning with electronic design and engineering documentation.
