    • Developed new thermoformed products from design and prototyping to quality control and production by leading projects with innovative project management, focusing on quality improvement and manufacturing process optimisation. Took into account a structured design process and utilised CAD tools to assess product feasibility, ensuring alignment with machinery capabilities and production constraints. Engaged in effective communication with more than 40 nationals in Colombia and 10 international clients in Mexico and the USA to understand their requirements and production limitations, facilitating seamless collaboration and project execution. This resulted in the development and delivery of over 30 advanced thermoformed and paper products fo
  • C
    Technical Area Intern
    CARVAJAL S.A,
    Nov 2021 - Apr 2022 (6 months)
    • Conducted research into thermoforming processes, focusing on the relationship between production process variables and product design requirements, collecting relevant data directly from thermoforming technicians, production requirements, quality analysts, and the commercial team. This information was used to perform structural analysis with CAD tools and thermal analysis with CFD, resulting in a 15% reduction in downtime and decreased material waste during the stabilization phase at the start of production. • Created a technical manual of 200 pages for new product design and thermoforming recommendations by applying CAD and CFD analysis in the design and prototyping phases. This enabled the determination of initial values such as final p

    CFD Analyst | Aerothermal Brake System Performance and UDF (C language)
    Red Bull Racing & Red Bull Technology, Red Bull
    May 2025 - Sep 2025 (5 months)
    As a CFD Analyst specializing in Aerothermal Brake System Performance and UDF (C language) implementation at Red Bull Racing F1, I conducted a comprehensive CFD study to evaluate the Multi-Reference Frame (MRF) and Sliding Mesh methods for simulating the aerothermal performance of a Formula 1 wheel and brake disc assembly. The project involved aerodynamic validation against experimental PIV data, followed by a full thermal analysis of the brake system. Results demonstrated that while MRF offered computational efficiency, the Sliding Mesh method provided superior accuracy in predicting convective cooling. I subsequently developed a correction factor to enhance MRF predictions, successfully bringing key thermal values to within 2.2% of the tr

    GEMINI European project
    Cranfield University
    Mar 2025 - May 2025 (3 months)
    Worked on the software development and modernization for a brain perfusion model as part of the GEMINI European project by employing Finite Element Method (FEM) discretization techniques and the use of Python packages and GitHub repositories management. This effort resulted in the modernization of the model from FEniCS Legacy to FEniCS-X, validating the code quality with post-processing tools and assessing portability in the HPC cluster Crescent2 from Cranfield University (UK) and the ARES HPC cluster of The Academic Computer Centre CYFRONET AGH (Poland). Additionally, some of the previous models for the brain mesh were developed using SolidWorks, which provided valuable insights into the design and structure of the models, enhancing the ov
