About me

A child who doesn't like soccer... in Spain. This is what can summarize my childhood. At school, the only time I felt comfortable was in aeromodelling class, or on the rare occasions when I had class in the physics or chemistry lab.

A computer scientist at heart, I made a career in the printing world, first at Xerox and then at Lexmark. Compulsive handyman, I spend my time repairing old motorcycles, cameras, gramophones, lamp radios, steam engines...

The idea to start this project came in 2012, when I bought my first Arduino microcontroller. This new technology allowed me to tinker, program and invent devices... A whole universe of possibilities!

I attended a Google-sponsored training program where I learned how to develop a business idea and start a company. This course inspired me to delve into the world of education, and it was the catalyst for the creation of Tinker Robot Labs."

I started by giving conferences in schools, where I presented what is robotics and the evolution of digital technologies. After each intervention, I systematically had one or two parents who asked me if I could give lessons to their child... a child who often doesn't like soccer, and who is not at ease at school...

I am currently based in France and I am employed as a freelance educator and consultant. I teach hundreds of students globally via Google Meet and Twitch, offering instruction in Spanish, English, and French. Moreover, I provide consulting and product management services to companies in the robotics industry.
