I'm Fernando Campos, a Software Engineer with an industrial systems and automation mindset, combining over twelve years of experience in complex, regulated engineering environments with modern software development. My background spans semiconductor manufacturing, process engineering, and quality systems, where I consistently focused on optimisation, traceability, automation, and operational reliability. After repeatedly encountering the limitations of manual and semi-automated tooling in high-stakes production environments, I deliberately enhanced my capabilities through formal Computer Science education and hands-on software delivery. I am an early-career professional in software execution, but I bring mid-career engineering maturity, disciplined delivery habits, and a clear trajectory towards technical leadership.
