I am a Physicist at the Universidad de Antioquia (UdeA) and a Junior Researcher in Microelectronics & Scientific Instrumentation (GICM).
My approach is grounded in systems thinking: I view algorithms not as isolated mathematical abstractions, but as physical processes that interface with silicon logic, clock constraints, memory hierarchies (L1/L2 cache), and communication buses.
- π¬ Scientific Instrumentation as a Bridge: I design instruments to connect mathematical equations with experimental reality. Platforms are built from day one to be modular, extensible, and easily replicable, prioritizing open-source toolchains and reproducible standards.
- β‘ End-to-End HW/SW Co-Design: I translate theoretical concepts down into reconfigurable silicon (FPGA/RTL) and high-throughput software (PYNQ, C++17, CUDA), optimizing full-stack data paths for maximum bandwidth and deterministic execution.
- π οΈ Pragmatic Automation & Tooling: I treat the engineering lifecycle as a system to be optimizedβarchitecting custom zero-dependency CLI tools, automated CI/CD validation gates, and reproducible environments that multiply velocity without technical debt.
