My journey in technology and innovation began when I was ten years old, a moment that marked the start of my lifelong adventure. Inspired by my father's introduction to the digital world, I quickly grasped the importance of STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education. With my family's unwavering support, I embarked on a journey that would take me across the globe—participating in RoboCup competitions in countries such as Austria, Singapore, Japan, Brazil, Australia, and many more. This international exposure not only enriched my understanding of robotics but also taught me the value of global collaboration and diversity in driving innovation.

My 14-Year Journey at JP Morgan Chase

For 14 years, I've had the privilege of merging my passion for technology with the intricacies of finance. I've been instrumental in the implementation and design of brokerage solutions, showcasing my expertise in cloud technologies and scalable data management. My work has focused on empowering my team with advanced data analytics, enhancing decision-making processes, and fostering AI and data science initiatives. After a decade of impactful work in Mexico City, my journey led me to New York, USA, where I continue to innovate and lead. I take pride in building solutions that bridge cutting-edge technology with financial innovation, creating value for our clients and driving organizational excellence.

Dedicating 16 Years to RoboCup and STEAM Education

For 16 years, I've had the honor of dedicating myself to advancing robotics and AI through the RoboCup Federation. My journey began as an enthusiastic participant, but over the years, I've had the privilege of becoming an influential member driving RoboCupJunior competitions forward. As the first co-chair of RoboCup Americas, I'm leading efforts to expand RoboCup's reach across the Americas, following the successful models of the long-standing RoboCup Asia-Pacific (RCAP) and European Championships. This initiative represents a pivotal moment in bringing world-class robotics competitions and STEAM education to communities throughout North, Central, and South America.

What I'm most proud of is knowing that my efforts have inspired over 25,000 students from more than 45 countries annually. I've worked to create an inclusive environment where young minds can explore robotics and STEAM, developing innovation, teamwork, problem-solving, and leadership skills through hands-on robot building and programming. From soccer-playing robots to disaster-rescue simulations, I believe these competitions do more than inspire—they transform lives and prepare the next generation for the challenges of tomorrow. Our vision of developing fully autonomous humanoid robots capable of competing against human soccer champions by 2050 drives me every day.

My Leadership Philosophy

My leadership approach has always been grounded in a balance between speed and quality, coupled with ethical decision-making and a genuine team-oriented perspective. Through my years at JP Morgan Chase and the RoboCup Federation, I've learned the importance of adaptability, emotional intelligence, and an unwavering commitment to ethical practices. These principles have guided my career and inspired others around me to pursue their passions in finance, robotics, and engineering. I believe that true leadership means creating spaces where innovation thrives and where people feel empowered to make a difference.

Inspiring the Next Generation

My story is more than just personal success—it's a reflection of the power of passion, dedication, and the support of those who believed in me. I've been fortunate to work across cultures, lead diverse teams, and witness the transformative impact of STEAM education on young minds. As I continue my journey, my mission remains clear: bridge cutting-edge innovation with educational impact, inspiring the next generation of tech leaders to think creatively, solve complex problems, and build a better future.

My path began with a spark of curiosity fueled by my father's guidance and my family's support. But I've learned that anyone can achieve great things by embracing the journey of learning, innovation, and the courage to follow their passion. Whatever you're curious about, wherever your interests lie—take that first step. The rest is a beautiful adventure waiting to unfold.
