Summary
🤩
Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolMikel Rico Abajo is a control engineer and R&D-focused software/electronics practitioner with three years of professional experience building advanced control systems, mobile robotics, and embedded solutions. He combines strong academic credentials in control and electrical engineering with hands-on skills across C++, Python, LabVIEW, PCB design, FEM analysis, and ROS 2/microROS middleware. His open-source contributions to eProsima’s Fast-DDS improved API documentation and test automation, reflecting attention to robustness in real-time distributed systems. Comfortable leading small teams, he bridges research, prototyping and productization—designing ultrasonic atomizers in academia, managing R&D control and electrical teams in industry, and now delivering advanced control solutions at VORS CONTROL. Colleagues describe him as relentlessly curious and practically restless for learning, often pairing low-level embedded work with system-level tuning and mechanical design.
