Presently, I hold the position of an engineering/technology leader specifically working on the virtual reality (VR) field, possessing a robust foundation in applied mathematics and sciences. My expertise encompasses a wide range of disciplines, including algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, differential equations, statistics, quantitative methods, programming languages, physics, and other scientific fields. These skills are seamlessly integrated into my daily work, and I derive immense satisfaction from demonstrating how these concepts manifest in practical and real-world applications.

I hold degrees in Electrical Engineering and possess extensive experience not only in utilizing mathematics professionally but also in facilitating students' comprehension of the subject matter. My work has encompassed learners at various levels, ranging from beginners to those tackling advanced topics. Throughout my interactions, I consistently prioritize meeting students where they are in their understanding. My preferred areas for tutoring include algebra and calculus, as they serve as the bedrock for numerous other concepts. Once students attain a deep understanding of these subjects, their confidence tends to flourish significantly.

My tutoring approach is characterized by a calm, encouraging, and clarity-focused demeanor. I firmly believe in fostering comprehension rather than mere memorization of procedures. I break down complex concepts, employ real-world examples, and actively encourage students to pose questions and engage in problem-solving discussions with me. My ultimate objective is for each student to leave my sessions not only with the ability to solve problems but also with a profound understanding of the underlying principles that underpin their solutions.

Beyond tutoring and engineering, I am an avid enthusiast of various fields, such as technology, commercial aviation, space exploration, design, and artificial intelligence.

Business

Business

Over a 20-plus year engineering and technology leadership career, I have owned full profit and loss responsibility and capital budgets exceeding $25 million, most recently as Vice President of Engineering at a global hardware company and previously at a medical device manufacturer. That operating experience includes personally negotiating international manufacturing and contract-manufacturing agreements across three continents, restructuring teams and supply chains under real financial and regulatory constraints, and leading cross-functional groups of 40 to 45 people spanning engineering, commercial, sourcing, and logistics. This is business learned by running it, not just studying it — the practical fundamentals of budgeting, negotiation, operations, and organizational leadership that apply directly to coursework in general business, management, or entrepreneurship. My teaching style, refined over more than seven years, focuses on making these real-world dynamics concrete and understandable, with genuine patience, empathy, and full attention to your progress and outcomes.
Electrical Engineering

Electrical Engineering

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Puerto Rico – Mayagüez and a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Marquette University, and have spent over two decades building a career rooted in radio frequency (RF), applied electromagnetics, and wireless communication — including patented work on MRI-compatible communication systems and wireless medical telemetry developed at GE Healthcare. That RF specialty sits on top of comprehensive command of the broader electrical engineering curriculum: circuit analysis, analog and mixed-signal design, digital signal processing, signals and systems, microcontrollers, and electronics, all sharpened by leading hardware and firmware engineering teams as VP of Engineering across medical device and consumer hardware companies. For over seven years, I have also taught and tutored technical subjects, translating complex material — from op-amp behavior to Fourier analysis to embedded system design — into explanations students actually retain and can apply. I teach with patience and genuine empathy, staying fully focused on each student's progress and academic outcomes rather than simply covering material, and I adapt my approach — pace, explanations, and examples — to fit how each individual student actually learns. If you're tackling core circuits and signals coursework or want to understand how RF and wireless systems work in the real world, you will get both technical rigor and genuinely effective teaching, paired with real care for your success.
IBEW/ Electrician

IBEW/ Electrician

I hold a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Marquette University and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, built on more than twenty years leading engineering teams in electromagnetics, circuit design, and applied electrical systems. Over the past year and a half I have focused specifically on tutoring IBEW apprenticeship candidates, helping students work through electrical theory, code, and exam preparation with real, measurable results. Of the four students I have worked with directly, three have passed their exams and are now active members of the union, one has completed the assessment and is currently awaiting an interview, and one remains an active student progressing steadily through the material. I bring genuine technical depth from a career built on electrical fundamentals and applied electromagnetics, paired with a teaching approach that is patient, encouraging, and focused entirely on getting each apprentice ready, confident, and prepared to succeed.
Interview Prep

Interview Prep

Business communication was one of the most immersive and rewarding courses I completed during my Executive MBA at the Jack Welch Management Institute, and that graduate level training in clear, persuasive communication has directly shaped how I evaluate and coach others in high stakes conversations ever since. Over more than twenty years as an engineering and technology executive, I have personally interviewed and hired across every level of an organization, building and leading cross functional teams of forty to forty five people, which means I have sat on both sides of the interview table for two decades and know exactly what hiring managers are listening for, how they read confidence, clarity, and substance, and where candidates most often lose an opportunity they were otherwise qualified for. I bring more than seven years of teaching and tutoring experience to this subject as well, helping candidates prepare with real, practical technique, sharpening how they structure answers, project confidence, and communicate their value clearly, drawing directly on what has genuinely worked and genuinely fallen flat across hundreds of real interviews I have conducted myself.
MATLAB

MATLAB

MATLAB has been a core tool throughout more than twenty years of my career as an electrical engineer, applied across a wide range of professional settings including image processing, cardiac gating systems, circuit modeling, and both systems and controls modeling. I hold a Master of Science in Electrical Engineering from Marquette University and a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from the University of Puerto Rico at Mayaguez, and have used MATLAB extensively to solve real engineering problems across healthcare, industrial, and hardware development settings, from prototyping signal processing algorithms to modeling complex electromechanical systems. This is not classroom only experience, it comes directly from building working models and systems that shipped in real products. I also bring more than seven years of teaching and tutoring experience, and I approach MATLAB instruction the same way I approach engineering itself, breaking a complex tool down into clear, practical building blocks so a student can confidently apply it to their own coursework or projects.
MBA

MBA

A Welch Scholar and two-time JWMI Fellowship recipient (2018 and 2020), I completed an Executive MBA at the Jack Welch Management Institute at Strayer University, graduating Summa Cum Laude with a 4.00 GPA. The program's core disciplines — strategic planning, financial analysis, organizational behavior, marketing strategy, negotiation, and business analytics — are the same frameworks I have applied directly across two decades leading engineering and technology organizations, giving me a rare ability to connect textbook theory to how strategic decisions actually get made in the boardroom. I regularly work through case-study analysis, financial modeling, and strategic frameworks the way MBA coursework demands, not just from having taken the courses, but from having lived the decisions those frameworks describe. Alongside more than seven years teaching and tutoring, my approach stays patient and genuinely empathetic, centered on your academic outcomes, and adaptable to how you personally process complex material — whether that is a single case study or a full capstone project.
Public Speaking

Public Speaking

Business communication was one of the most immersive and rewarding courses I completed during my Executive MBA at the Jack Welch Management Institute, and the skills built there have directly shaped how I communicate with confidence and executive presence in high stakes settings ever since. Over more than twenty years leading engineering and technology organizations, I have regularly presented to senior executive leadership, negotiated international manufacturing agreements across multiple countries, and led cross functional teams of forty to forty five people, all of which demand clear, persuasive, and confident public communication as a daily skill, not an occasional one. I have also served in public facing leadership roles outside my career, including on the Board of Directors of a nonprofit music education institution and as Vice President of an executive board for a community nonprofit, both requiring regular public speaking and presentation to boards, donors, and community members. I bring more than seven years of teaching and tutoring experience to this subject as well, helping students build genuine confidence and command in front of an audience, with patience, real encouragement, and practical, real world technique rather than abstract theory.
