Personal Statement

Where do I start?
Since I was a little kid, I knew that I wanted to be some kind of tinkerer , I've always been the kind of tech nerd that likes to dissasemble any sort of mechanism, understand how it works from the inside and then test my understanding about it by reasembling it just to see if it works as it did before I mangled it.
Research gave me a big oportunity to adjust this abstract concept into something do-able in our modern (advanced-ish) society where you cannot just "invent the lightbulb" or "discover the gravity"; that, plus my will to do things for the better & my sense of fulfilled when I help someone makes the environment of Professor-Researcher look like a dream to me, which in practice, has proven me to fit in my very soul desires as good as a glove.

About me

I'm a Master's Student-Researcher specializing in signal processing, communications, and networking, with a strong focus on developing innovative solutions for wireless technologies. My research spans areas such as software-defined systems, timing synchronization, OS-ML implemenntations and GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications [Telephony infrastructure systems]) technologies.

In addition to my technical work, I am passionate about -helping- mentoring the next generation of engineers and researchers. I lead two currently active research projects and supervise students working at it, fostering an environment where curiosity, creativity, and problem-solving thrive. I am the founding President of the Web/App Development Club at UTEP; more information on the projects section.

My work is driven by the belief that research should have a tangible, positive impact on society. I am committed to advancing communications technologies and empowering others through education. I believe in working towards solutions with the sole purpose of helping each other can bring our society to great places and I stand it at my own grounds; with technology, eager to stablish networking opportunities & overall facilitating tools to others that could bring connectivity and innovation to underserved communities.

Education

The University of Texas at El Paso

M.S. in Computer Science • Expected: May 2026

As this chapter in my life is still open, I have a lot of expectances from it. I've been able to continue my research efforts that I've been working for half of my Bachelor's degree. Early into it, I obtained an Teaching Assistanship position for which I expect to enhance my insight into teaching methods, leadership skills and the other whatnots that this possition offers.

B.S. Degree in Computer Science • Obtained: May 2024

This Bachelor of Science in Computer Science degree is one of my first milestones -educationally speaking- that helped me point towards where I wanted my carreer path to develop. It forged my first encounterings with such amazing workfield as research & teaching is. This journey encouraged me to have a great insight into the amazing and unified community UTEP is. During this period of my life, I explored a lot of paths that the CS field puts on the table as Machine & Deep Learning, Networks, Cyber-Security, Web Development and Signal Processing for which I determined that the ideal field for me to work at (but not limmited to) is a mix of Cyber-Security, Signal-Processing and Networks.

Work
