Hi, I’m Emiliano — a mechanical engineer driven by curiosity and a desire to build things that actually matter. I chose engineering not just for the technical challenge, but because I enjoy solving real-world problems where every solution has to balance precision, efficiency, and creativity.
My experience spans mechanical design, manufacturing, automation, and robotics, with a growing interest in how AI can complement and enhance these fields. I’m hands-on by nature, whether I’m designing parts, improving processes, or integrating systems. I take pride in learning fast, adapting quickly, and always asking how something can be made better.
If you're working on something cool — let’s talk.
