Document:
I'm an Electrical Engineer with an MSc in Electrical Engineering / Automation, a PhD in A.I. / Robotics and experience that goes from electronics, web development, digital printing... to heavy machinery, 3D printing, artificial intelligence, computer vision and agricultural robotics. However, I'm not only used to technical fields because I even worked as a door-to-door salesman when I was publishing a monthly magazine!
Yep, I've done quite a lot of different things so far, I have lots of experience as an entrepreneur (managing people, taking care of accounting and legal bureaucracy, etc.) and now I'm eager for working with A.I. based robotics here in Montréal.
Internet-of-Things Platform for Humanitarian Aid project where I'm currently working on automated landing for drone swarms.
