Industry 4.0

I'm a Process Engineer from Barcelona with dual engineering degrees in Mechatronics and Industrial Electronics & Automation, combining theoretical depth with hands-on manufacturing expertise.

My career has been shaped by a decade in Spain's most demanding automotive environments — primarily supporting SEAT S.A. and the Volkswagen Group — where I've worked across the full lifecycle of manufacturing: from body-in-white assembly processes and robotic welding systems to automated production cell design and commissioning.

Today, at Jordan Group, I lead the industrialization of next-generation welded assemblies integrating resistance spot welding, self-piercing rivets, and structural adhesives — technologies that define modern automotive lightweighting strategies.

Beyond the factory floor, I work hands-on with software and artificial intelligence — developing Python automation, applying large language models and generative AI to engineering workflows, and using data analysis to support better technical decisions. I operate at the intersection of manufacturing, automation, software, and AI.

⚙️

Engineering Precision

Every process I design is built on measurable standards, validated data, and engineering rigor.

🚀

Continuous Improvement

I believe every production line has untapped efficiency waiting to be unlocked through systematic analysis.

Cross-functional Collaboration

The best solutions emerge when engineering, quality, maintenance, and production teams speak the same language.
