Professional Profile

I am a field robotics engineer with more than 10 years of experience working as a C++/Python developer in robotics applications. I have worked with ROVs and AUVs both using custom or ROS middlewares. I also have experience in designing, machining and building robots from scratch. I have taught at the University of the Balearic Islands and I am now working and teaching at the University of Southampton.
