Lab Monitor (Industrial Production & 3D Printing) at Pontificia Universidad Javeriana (PUJ)

Coordinated practical sessions for groups up to 20; trained 60+ students in 3D printer operation (FDM and resin), calibration, and maintenance; assembled and tuned 3 Prusa MK3 and 2 Creality units; streamlined workflows and resolved technical incidents to improve uptime and print quality; ensured safety protocols and responsible equipment use.

Product Designer (Student Project) at Musubi-Kartell

Conceptualized and prototyped a keep-safe container inspired by Japanese techniques (kintsugi, sashimono, kumihimo); presented a functional prototype and received positive feedback for conceptual strength and form coherence; co-led a two-person team delivering on schedule.

Product Designer (Modular System) at PUJ Lab

Developed technical drawings and specifications for manufacturing modular system; standardized parts and tolerances to facilitate cutting and assembly; documented BOM for prototype iterations and pilot production; validated design decisions with Holcim, Novo Pelícano, and Madecentro, aligning manufacturing requirements with material availability.
