About

I met someone from T&S Machines at a UNT career fair, and a few weeks later I got a message asking if I wanted to write software for CNC machines. That was the start. The first version of the role was probing and milling routines for global customers, with documentation and remote support layered on as the customers multiplied.

I left briefly in late 2022 to join Nicular, a healthcare startup in Dallas, where I built an SMS and email reminder system for clinician workflows under HIPAA. The two months were useful: HIPAA compliance forces a specific rigor about logging, error handling, and the question of who sees what. I came back to T&S because the work was more interesting and the work-from-home policy let me focus, but the rigor stuck.

Since then the role has kept evolving. The probing routines became a set of subroutines I refactored for stability. The work expanded into customer-facing documentation, remote support for production issues, and a Docker side project I built to explore better deployment than the existing manual installer process. The job title became "Digital Specialist" along the way.

I speak Spanish and English natively, plus German at A2/B1 from three years of school. Enough to hold a real conversation, but not enough to write code reviews. I picked German over French because it sounded more interesting at the time. The German paid off later than I expected. At HackZurich in 2022, our team was a mix of one Swiss, one German, one Italian, one Egyptian, and me. The working language was English, but German surfaced often enough that the school years paid off. Quick asides between the two German speakers, the occasional clarification. I caught more than I would have without them, which mattered because hackathon decisions move fast and small comprehension gaps add up.

I went to UNT for Computer Engineering with a math minor and graduated December 2023. The senior design project was the NASA Circadian Lighting work that has its own page on this site.

The homepage says Docker, infra, and backend, and that's the shortlist. The longer answer is wider: I'm open to software development generally, system testing and integration, robotics, and a possible transition into IT or sysadmin work. The throughline across all of those is systems where reliability matters and where the work has tangible consequences, which has been true of CNC software, healthcare reminders, and lighting controllers alike.

I'd prefer remote, but I'm open to relocating for the right team. Full-time. Open on company size, industry, and stack. I've worked in industrial automation, healthcare, NASA-research-adjacent senior design, and a hackathon for a Swiss grocery chain, and I've enjoyed all of them for different reasons.
