Andrés Narvaez is an interdisciplinary software and product developer with 11 years of industry experience and five years in academia, specializing in controlled-environment agriculture and space-focused plant systems. As Assistant Specialist at UC Riverside he helped lead NoLux to a runner-up finish in NASA's Deep Space Food Challenge and contributed to experiment design for ISS plant cultivation, blending hands-on tissue culture with data-driven experiment execution. He invents and prototypes CEA hardware for commercial licensing through his venture AN Designs, applying rapid fabrication like 3D printing to accelerate productization. A lifelong autodidact and generalist, Andrés connects siloed knowledge across plant science, web development, and product design to deliver practical solutions and community-facing education, having reached thousands of K–12 students with modern AgTech outreach. Notably, he pairs academic rigor with startup-style invention, comfortable moving from tissue culture benches to prototype workshops and codebases.
