ABOUT
I am a biomechanical/biomedical designer and engineer. I spent the past 7 years researching the biomechanics of human movement and designing assistive technology such as prostheses, robotic exoskeletons and braces to help people with mobility impairments move and play.
This year, I founded Adapt Labs, a company leveraging 3D scanning and printing technologies to produce affordable and personalized prosthetic legs and arms for people in Mexico and worldwide.
"When I first moved to Mexico, I only had enough money to survive for 2 months and no job. Still, I got a Haab membership because I felt it would give me opportunities to succeed professionally and socially. It was worth it."
