Daniela Fernanda Yela

My name is Daniela. I am an Electronic Engineer with a passion for Machine learning and data, with experience coordinating projects and leading groups, as well as coding in C++, SQL, Python, and Java. I enhanced my skills in both academic and practical settings.

I've worked on different roles, such as a data analyst, project coordinator, teaching the fundamentals of embedded systems, and sales engineer. Where I sharpened my skills on PCB layouts, microcontrollers, modules, sensors, cleaning and analyzing data, and customer service.
