I am a Colombian-American engineer, designer, and researcher motivated to develop technologies that improve people’s lives.
I studied Biomedical Engineering, where I discovered my passion for developing medical technologies through additive manufacturing and patient-specific design. During my final year, I began designing and 3D-printing customized patient adapters, an experience that showed me how biomedical product design could directly improve quality of life.
After graduating, I worked across clinical, research, and industry environments, developing implantable technologies for bone reconstruction, contributing to implant design, manufacturing, and co-inventing a patented fixation system. To deepen my ability to translate ideas into real products, I pursued a Master’s degree in Product Development Engineering, strengthening my expertise across the full product development cycle.
In search of greater impact, I founded HUMANBX, a biomedical design and manufacturing studio focused on customized implants and digital surgical planning, bridging engineering, medicine, and entrepreneurship.
Today, I am pursuing my Ph.D. in Mechanical & Industrial Engineering at the Rochester Institute of Technology, where I focus on advanced additive manufacturing of implantable biometals using Molten Metal Jetting. My work aims to enable the next generation of personalized medical devices.
At the core of my work is a simple motivation: expanding access to personalized medical care
