About

I help clients develop, verify, and improve engineering software and control systems. My background includes aerospace control systems engineering, MATLAB, Simulink modeling, verification and validation, and embedded systems. I also bring hands-on marine electronics experience, including diagnostics and system integration. My work is structured, detail-oriented, and clearly communicated.

Experience

Control Systems Engineer Belcan LLC · Full-time Dec 2022 – Oct 2024 1 yrs 10 mos West Palm Beach, FL, United States Developed, tested, and verified MATLAB/Simulink control models for aerospace applications. Performed requirements-driven development and traceability using IBM Rational DOORS, including verification and validation, back-to-back testing, and technical documentation. Collaborated with cross-functional engineering teams to analyze requirements, troubleshoot model behavior, document results, and support the delivery of reliable control-system software.
Marine Electronics Technician Heras Marine · Full-time Mar 2018 – Jan 2021 2 yrs 10 mos Hollywood, FL, United States Worked alongside the owner of Heras Marine, my brother, during the company’s early growth from a small two-person operation into a larger marine electronics business. Installed, integrated, tested, diagnosed, and repaired marine electrical and electronic systems while taking on broad responsibilities across field service, customer support, project planning, and day-to-day operations.

Translated customer needs into practical installation and repair solutions, planned jobs around vessel requirements and available components, coordinated equipment and parts, and performed systematic troubleshooting and functional testing to verify proper system operation. Also provided customers with technical guidance, post-service support, and preventive-maintenance recommendations.
Marine Electronics Technician Just Catamarans LLC · Full-time Jun 2016 – Mar 2018 1 yrs 9 mos Dania Beach, FL, United States Installed and integrated marine electronic systems on new catamarans prior to vessel delivery.
