Manufacturing Engineering Technician
I build prototypes, inspect parts, and make materials for research.
Currently at Neuralink
Previously at Tesla and the U.S. Air Force.
Prototyping, 3D printing,
metrology, and materials research.
I use SolidWorks and 3D printing to turn digital models into physical parts. My work includes print preparation, prototype assemblies, and surgical consumables.
I inspect parts with Hexagon Optiv, PC DMIS, and Keyence measurement systems. My background in metrology, quality, and production helps me connect dimensional and optical inspection to the next build.
I make hydrogel surgical proxies for research and development. That involves preparing materials, comparing their behavior, and improving how the finished proxy is made.
2026 to present
At Neuralink in Austin, I build and inspect robot and surgery consumables. My work includes R1 surgical robot assemblies, wiring harness subassemblies, and electrical testing with a multimeter. I also make hydrogel surgical proxies for research and development.
2024 to 2026
I worked in multiple roles, from building Model Y seat subassemblies to dimensional inspection and production control in the Die Shop. That gave me experience with both the part and the process around it.
2019 to 2023
I trained in Korean at the Defense Language Institute and served in South Korea as a Korean cryptologic language analyst. My job centered on interpreting information in context and communicating what it meant.
Strength training is a regular part of my life. Away from the gym, I enjoy gaming and keeping up with new technology.
I have Dominican and Puerto Rican roots. Studying Korean and living in South Korea gave me another language and another way of looking at the world.
