About me
Summa Cum Laude in Biomedical Engineering and Design from the University of the Andes, Bogotá, Colombia.
I have worked at the intersection of physiological signals, artificial intelligence, and human experience, exploring how the body can be measured, interpreted, and translated into meaningful interfaces.
My experience combines computer vision applied to surgical environments within the CINFONIA research group with the development of interactive systems that address subjective experience. I am particularly interested in designing systems that connect computational models with human experience, an intersection where my profile as a designer plays a crucial role, allowing me to empathize with, understand, and connect with people on a human level.
I have sought to build a profile that embodies and demonstrates that creative thinking is not opposed to scientific reasoning, and that, in fact, their complementary perspectives offer a space where life and creation can flourish. In such a broad and interdisciplinary environment, the heightened sensitivity and empathy I have cultivated allow me to project a rational, pragmatic, and leadership-oriented character, capable of connecting with others and the environment in profound ways.
The universe of what I do
I'm a Biomedical Engineer, but I'm also a Designer. I'm not an artist; for me, the functionality of what I do is paramount, and I am passionate about health issues. I have a great interest in medical knowledge, but from a non-clinical perspective.
That is, in physiology, anatomy, bodily signals, and even its forms and behaviors. There I have found a common thread running through my projects, which can be summarized as the intention to make the invisible visible and translate it into something communicable; something present in data analysis, but also in the body's internal states and bodily experiences. To this end, I have built a very strong relationship with the material, from the implementation of both physical and digital technologies to create objects with a presence and connections that go beyond the physical… objects, physical interfaces, body, space, presence.
I would like to be the one who:
Understands the (medical) problem + Takes into account the human context + Identifies what is worth modeling/creating + Cares about how that translates into a meaningful experience

Graduation at the University of Los Andes | April 14, 2026
On April 14th, I received my degrees as a Designer and Biomedical Engineer from the University of the Andes. On both occasions, I received the Summa Cum Laude distinction, awarded to undergraduate students whose cumulative GPA is in the top 1% of the historical average of their faculty's graduates over the last 5 years and who demonstrate comprehensive merit to obtain this distinction, in an interview before the Commission appointed by the Academic Council for this purpose.
It was a moment filled with emotions of satisfaction, pride, and also nostalgia. The end of a training phase that marks the beginning of an exciting professional journey.
Grupo de investigación CINFONIA | junio 2024 - septiembre 2025
The Center for Research and Training in Artificial Intelligence (CINFONIA) is the first academic research center in AI in Latin America. I participated in the EndoVis group, focused on research in biomedical computer vision, specifically in the recognition of surgical phases and the segmentation of instrument instances in endoscopic surgery videos.
As an undergraduate student, I was a research monitor and part of a group of master's students, brilliant people who were very willing to teach me, with whom we participated in the conferenceMICCAI (Medical Image Computing and Computer-Assisted Intervention)in the ChallengePhaKIR (Phase, Keypoint, and Instrument Recognition), obtaining first place in the Surgical Procedure Phase Recognition category and third place in Surgical Instrument Instance Segmentation.

The Times of Listening Exhibition | 20252025
An exhibition focused on processes of listening, memory, and reconciliation, built from the testimonies and feelings of four textile collectives made up of women victims of the armed conflict in Colombia. Participation in the adaptation and installation of the second edition of the exhibition at the Center for Memory, Peace, and Reconciliation in Bogotá.
