Hi, I’m Grecia Shaiel Bello Segovia, an Embedded Systems Developer and Open Hardware Innovator based in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, Bolivia. I specialize in rapid prototyping, hardware/software integration, and digital fabrication, with over five years of cross-platform development on Linux/Windows, working with x86 and ARM architectures, real-time systems, and 3D graphics (OpenGL, Vulkan, Direct3D). I design custom PCBs and firmware for microcontrollers (especially ESP32-based systems), master low-level debugging and peripheral interfacing (I2C, SPI, UART), and drive full hardware/software stacks. I’ve led technical teams, mentored developers, and spoken at tech events. I founded Arakuaa Open Fiber to turn PET plastic into textile fibers and am actively teaching and contributing as a lecturer and Fab Lab coordinator.
