About Me

Hey I'm Diego! I’m a 3rd year transfer at UC San Diego studying Electrical Engineering. I spent this past summer at Ormco building real-time data acquisition/visualization pipelines to analyze the biomechanics of orthodontic aligners. This fall, I am working within the automation team, building an agentic harness to support 3D treatment control of aligners. I love watching systems come to live through code and math.

Outside of class and work, I love to lift and cook. One of my goals before the end of the year is to bring my back squat back up to 500 pounds.
